Can you show us a cool photo you took recently? We wanna see what you found cool enough to take a photo of. We usually take photos of things we’re interested in or are unique enough to put into a reference folder we have for art and well we’re wondering if anyone had any good photos to share! :3

Thank you!

Also the photo on this post we put up is a train we saw in the Train museum here in Spain! We had so much fun and think this would have to be the one of the more impressive ones (tho not our favorite haha)

Edit: Hoi peeps!! We love all these photos and this post got WAY more popular than expected haha! We’re wanting to reply to everyone, but it’s gonna take some time - so we’re not ignoring you and if we accidentally miss you aaaaa we’re sorry (there’s just so much @w@)! Thank you again everyone, this has been lovely seeing all these cool af pics!! :D

Edit: Haha, even the moon is upside down when seen from Australia... I mean of course, I just never thought of that

I have a project at a former surface mine/quarry and saw an area where recent rain eroded away sediment surrounding the gravel but not directly under it. Each rock was supported by its own column.

The bike, an old Chiang Jiang CJ750, belonging to a good friend of mine needed some work. It was down on power, hard to start and had some electrical gremlins. I made a new wiringharness as the old wires were pinched and grounding out all sorts of places and gave it a new starter relay, the old one were only rated for 6 volts and would stick on from time to time. The carbs got cleaned and the valves adjusted. Now it runs like a champ and starts better than most new cars.

We were hit with a nasty ice storm a few weeks ago and I found this lichen in the yard after. It's like a nature made snow globe.

Top of Mailbox Peak. These birds were everywhere. I assume due to people sharing food when they hit the top.

I was recently in New Zealand, this is a photo that shows the blue pools in the mount aspiring national Park. The water is the bluest/clearest I've ever seen.

It wasn't my favourite place In new Zealand, nor the prettiest, but the water is so incredibly blue

Saw this pretty big moth on the ground. Had to put my hand in the shot for a sense of scale. Looking at it now it seems like it was taken mid-afternoon but this was around 1am.

I generally don't take a lot of photos besides things I need to grab at the store, so he's the worlds largest pistachio in Alamogordo, NM from when my wife and I went down there to visit friends and sight see in January.

It's been a while since I took a picture.

Some context for this otherwise mundane photo:

This is on a college campus.

This man does not work for Grounds.

This was his transportation to a community event.

I like to go hiking in remote, less-traveled parts of the bush. I found these motorcycle boots discarded in a random area. There was other junk around too. In all my hiking, there was 3 times I thought I might find a body or shallow grave, and this was one of them.

Here is a big ol' spider that I almost walked into,:

And a cluster of caterpillars taking shelter from the rain:

Went to a local cherry blossom festival yesterday.

They weren’t fully bloomed yet (maybe around 80%), but still looked amazing.

Yesterday, we had a cow that jumped from the wagon and ran off. Eventually found it stuck in some bushes. It's not a very good picture, but can you spot the cow?

I do bird/nature photography as a hobby, this is a picture of a bluethroat I took last week. Not my best shot but I love these little guys. They migrate over early Spring so I take them as a sign that winter is on its way to being over. I hope to continue taking shots of them for years to come!

Well let's see...

Ah right. This one.

Some context; Burger King is doing a "spicy honey and goats cheese" thing. I was interested, so I bought one. But the taste made me...

>:(

So I made my own at home. Yes, including making the spicy honey sauce from scratch.
