Extreme Instability


Unbelievable photos from a seriously dedicated storm chaser. After viewing these pics I almost want to take it up as a hobby. Almost. He doesn't really talk about the extreme danger he puts himself in to get such incredible pictures.

KFC Seen From Space


"The company unveiled a new brand logo Tuesday that includes bolder colors and a more well-defined visage of the late Kentucky Fried Chicken founder, who will keep his classic black bow tie, glasses and goatee.


As part of publicity for the new logo, KFC commissioned a giant, 87,000-square foot version of it that can be seen from space. The massive logo consists of 65,000 1-foot square painted tiles that were laid out in the Nevada desert over 24 days."

Solar Prominence



A solar prominence is a large bright feature located in the solar corona. While the corona consists of extremely hot ionized gases, known as plasma, which do not emit much visible light, prominences contain much cooler plasma, similar in composition to that of the chromosphere. A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and may persist in the corona for several weeks. Many prominences break apart and give rise to coronal mass ejections.
I just thought the pictures were pretty cool.

Sad Picture


Not one of America's Finest Hours: Here is a photograph from the mid-1870s of a pile of American Bison skulls waiting to be ground for fertilizer. Bison were hunted almost to extinction in the 19th century and were reduced to a few hundred head by the mid-1880s, from which all the present day's managed herds are descended. The commercial take arguably was anywhere from 2,000 to 100,000 animals per day, though there are no statistics available.

Incredible Waterfall Pictures from Croatia




As someone who lives practically next door to Niagara Falls, I must say that I am fascinated by other waterfalls as well. These pictures were taken by a photographer named Jack Brauer. They are quite impressive.
