I need to come visit some day. Right before the trip to those beautiful beaches.

Beaches? We haven't seen a real beach in my country since 1918

Seriously, you're very welcome any time.


I love Holland, beautiful houses and I like all the water. Very nice photos

 

[Vincent Vega]

Oh, I meant the Hawaiian beaches.
And don't forget the 40s. Even though Austrians like to deny it.

[mad1]

wow, thats a cool shot there Cools.

love it!

makes me wanna dive in!

 

[coolian2]

i wouldn't, the colour is caused by all sorts of fun sulphuric gases and stuff. it would burn! the colour also changes based on the weather conditions.

 

[mad1]

hehe.

where was it taken love?

 

[coolian2]

hehe.

where was it taken love?

wai-o-tapu thermal wonderland, about 30 kilometres south of rotorua, new zealand. i've got more but i'm too lazy to grab the links right now.

 

[mad1]

I really do like it Cools.

I just wonder thou, if you stood back more to get more in, more dimension.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

ha, i was just about to post a couple from huka falls. oh well, i still can

and one bonus pic. i don't know why, but i really love this photo. it looks almost fake to me.

 

[coolian2]

I really do like it Cools.

I just wonder thou, if you stood back more to get more in, more dimension.

that's why i picked this photo, but because of the lay of the land this was the furthest away i could get without losing the lake to stuff in the foreground.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

that's why i picked this photo, but because of the lay of the land this was the furthest away i could get without losing the lake to stuff in the foreground.

yeah, that was the only bad thing about that place. well, and all the climbing but take this photo for example that we took of the artist's palette:

since you can't take an aerial shot or anything, it's pretty and all but stock photos such as this are better:

plus then the name of the thing actually makes sense.

 

[coolian2]

i'd love to jump into the champagne pool, except for the whole it's 70 degrees celsius thing.

I thought you meant our beautiful beaches

I understand, though. It's hard to compete with Hawaii.

I think we need to start a war now, we have to get some beaches back.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'd love to jump into the champagne pool, except for the whole it's 70 degrees celsius thing.

yeah, 70 would be a bit rough. second degree burns

 

[mad1]

damn you guys are good at photography! I would do it, but truth is Im just more interested in looking than actually doing.

I appreciate a lot of certain landscape/sunset/sunrise pics over anything else.

 

[coolian2]

muriwai beach, west auckland

sunset at mission bay, auckland

Not that there aren't waterfalls everywhere in NZ.

Wow - I love everyone's photos!

I was visiting my parents for a week, and on Saturday night, we had a massive thunder and lightning storm that went on for about 6 hours. It was pure craziness. I took these pictures about 2 or 3 hours into it. The pictures don't even do it justice - it was so beautiful outside.

The rest of these were taken later on. You can kinda see a bolt of lightning there in the last one:

It was a beautiful storm to watch.

 

[BluRmGrl]

I'd love to get some lightning photos. I just don't have a good vantage point here at my home (the area's so flat!). Now if a storm were to come in off the ocean, I could be at any of 4-5 beaches in about 15 minutes - but then the problem becomes 1) having a dry, secure place to shoot from, 2) timing of the storm v/s my availability, and 3) being skilled enough to capture something that happens in the blink of an eye!!

Butterfly @ Mingus Mill

Spectacular photos, everyone! BluRmGrl, your pix made me homesick for Virginia. Especially this little female eastern swallowtail butterfly!
