I'm a little phobic about water. That one of the wave looks like a giant hand coming to snatch me up.

That iceberg image by David Burdeny compelled me to travel to Greenland, two years ago. Here's an interview of the artist, with more icebergs.

As a swimmer, I thought you had me at the pool, but the close-up of a breaking wave was astonishing. Great post.

seahorse on a diver's watch: That's a mere naked woman away from being a Heavy Metal cover. A photographer in the rain: My favorite thing about this picture is the umbrella. Close up of a wave: Ubbo Sathla! This is the third time I've mentioned Clark Ashton Smith's protean creature-god on Metafilter in response to images. If I win some kind of prize for that, I don't want it. A droplet in space.: DR. EVIL IS GOD, HIS SON MINI ME OUR SAVIOR. Ant pushing a water droplet.: This story can only end in tragedy. Water house.: An unused prop left over from Stingray, you can just imagine puppets hanging out around that place. Monticello Dam Drain - Napa. : There's a hole, there's a hole, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea.... A child in Indonesia with his pet shark.: "What do ya want to do today, Sharky?" "Let's go pick a fight with that obnoxious Beany and Cecil!" Some local images: Yosemite: Recognizing the danger posed by it to his reign, Sauron takes out Mt. Doom in spectacular fashion. Pamukkale, Turkey: NEEDZ PENGUENZ. The Maldives: That bathtub would become the home of seven unlucky stranded castaways.... GILLIGAN! You popped our giant rubber duck, how will we get home now? Norway: Look closely for Slartibartfast's signature. From Hawaii: Poseidon: "RAARR!" Beach lady: "Huh, how about that!" Icebergs by David Burdeny: This is what your glass of ice water looks like to a paramecium. Emperor penguins: "Quickly mates, we're needed in Pamukkale!" Pink lake in Senegal: At least now scientists will be able to study the environmental impact of Strawberry Quik spills. And...Ploop: "I'm melllting... hey, this is fun!"

One more: Lake Sørvágsvatn in Faroe Islands.: "Hmm, this is looking like a par 82. Give me my negative-six wood."

If anyone has a cabin on that Montana lake, I hate you and want to be your best friend.

I trust human engineering and all , but I would not be anywhere near that dam in Jiyuan.

I just finished watching the Ken Burns documentary on the Dust Bowl, and thus have been watching over 2 hours of footage of dry dust and parched earth and bare soil. I needed this. (I've seen the stingray one before and it absolutely looks like some kind of M. C. Escher print.)

Lake Sørvágsvatn in Faroe Islands.: "Hmm, this is looking like a par 82. Give me my negative-six wood." I'm spending a couple of weeks next summer over in the Faroes, I'm going to look up that crazy lake. No way that a deep lake sits so close to a tall cliff. It's gotta be a post-rain puddle. Or maybe not? An investigation is in order.

That bubble photo is of the Strokkur geyser in Iceland. Here's a video I shot of it going off.

seewallrunner, aaah, that explains it, well found! Although it's not really an optical illusion -- it's more like a photographic trick, if you were seeing it from a helicopter your eyes and the miracle of stereoscopic vision would sort that scene right out. Is still pretty interesting terrain though. Like the kind of place that would show up in a particularly treacherous Minecraft seed. You just KNOW that cave is full of creepers.

My favorite is bathtime for the Bangladeshi refugee boy! Ahh... And the transparent lake in Montana And the underwater view of the Olympic pool, heavy and vast, so many other feelings about all of that water One more time, I'll say I love all of these, and I have been back at least a few times since posted. Truly, the whole thing is cathartic.
