  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The pics through the jar are neat. Might have to try that.

You should! Be sure and post them so I can see how they turn out and like what specifics you used for your camera.

Some cool shots from the burning of Zozobra last night. This is a 50+ ft tall marionette that moves and yells as he's getting burned.

That....it's a little creepy. :sorry: So what's the story on Zozobra and why did they burn him?? lol




@Anthony7 You are a fantastic photographer and you really have an eye for art and how a photo will look.

I love the very last picture of the tree, is that aluminum? And the seagulls photo is excellent! I love all the pictures though really. It's fascinating to look at them. :D

Thanks! ^_^ Most of those were taken either at the beach, when visiting family or during our class trips. And I do believe so =) That's actually in front of this building, from the architecture thread:

You should! Again... post pictures if you do. :p

Oh! They sure are. I never noticed that. Or if I did I totally forgot. I love those trees!

It's a fun, creepy New Mexican tradition. Zozobra (or Old Man Gloom) is a representation of all the gloom and sadness from the previous year. Every year there is a festival where they "lure Zozobra out" with music and dancing. They then fill a gloom box with the things people bring that they want to let go of from the year before and place it inside Zozobra. At the end of the night there's this big climactic battle and eventually Zozobra is burned to rid everyone of the gloom. It's definitely creepy and morbid, but also fun and very unique.

Field Of The Woods. A Biblical them park outside of Murphy, NC. Neat place to spend a few hours.

I just noticed you posted this! I've never been here but I've always wanted to go. I think it's a beautiful place and really want to see it before something happens to it.

I love all these sunrise photos but this one:

258458_e88147fa538e05e57217aa710d755d3d.JPG


Is my favorite. The way the sun looks huge and the wave is crashing. It's just awesome! I'd like to have that framed, haha.

If I had my own house i think I would have my walls covered in framed photography and art.

Beach sunrises are awesome. Sunsets too I imagine, but since I go to east coast beaches, I never see a good sunset.

Another Cherohala sunset this evening. And a video as soon as it uploads cause pics barely do this justice.

So serene looking. I could stay there for such a long time just watching the sun and the landscape. I bet it felt good up there weather wise as well. :bigeye:
