Yeah the dunes are a bit of a giveaway

Edit: Although I guess there's no reason you can't have snow dunes.

LOL Islame, that's what I meant, they seem too good to be true, but that's no reason for it not to be true.

This thread deserves a resurrection.

Native orchid growing wild on the big tree outside my house. (they smell great too).

The picture is about one third life size.

Os's orchid reminded me of the one I grew in my kitchen from a half- dead scrap of a specimen that was given to me to revive. The flowers lasted for months.

We should have a general photography thread for any cool pics from where we live and places we've visited.

Not just nature, but also cityscapes, landmarks and such.

That looks like an Oncidium cultivar. Oncidiums are great. Tough as old boots.

Yes. I love nature too.

My thoughtless hand has brushed away.

I too dance and drink, and sing,
Till some blind hand shall brush my wing.

The earth is full of natural awe and shock, mountains, rivers, valleys etc all the more reason why organised religions requiring buildings to worship God sounds so contrived. if you had to worship God then surely worship in the open air around his creation.

I am my own worst enemy and best friend, itsa bit of a squeeze in a three-quarter bed, tho. Unhinged!? If I was a dog I would be having kittens, that is unhinged. Footloose n fancy free, forced to fit, fated to fly. One or 2 words, 3 and 3/thirds, looking comely but lonely, till I made them homely.D

I saw yezeevee posting Gitanjali earlier. It reminded me of this nice nature video with one of the poems (Stream of Life) from Gitanjali.

in North America, the golden tortoise beetle is able to change the transparency of its shell from jewel-like to clear with the use of microscopic valves that control moisture under the shell. It can usually be found on morning glories, its favorite food.

A few more I took. The ones towards the end were when I wasnt a photographer but just getting interested in it...

Camera left on the beach with the shutter open for 3 or 4 hours to catch the trail of stars in the sky. That cloud is the milkyway.

Eye shine from Mugger crocodiles in India

Decided to get into photography after taking this shot

Hey Allat! I was in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru in Kenya. Those were 2 seperate trips. The last pic of the crocs was taken in South India where I was working on some crocodile conservation and public education stuff related to local wildlife.
