Beautiful photography of the day to get your weekend started right:

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.

 

[Rigatoni]

Found an old flash drive with archived pics, so I'll be posting a lot more lol.

Ice pics:

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

@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.

I had to look that one up, cause it did sound kinda morbid. It's actually kinda neat though.

Yeah I love those shots, would definitely want to try that myself.

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.

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

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

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.

Oh okay I've heard of things like this! I like the premise for it. It's actually a very cool thing. It just seemed a little morbid at first, haha.

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.

More beach sunrise shots:

 

[Mydnyte]

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.

I love all these sunrise photos but this one:

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.

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.

Spectacular. I love how the mountains just go for miles and miles, and how clear it is and how far off you can see. So beautiful.

You should! I love the ones that make the sky appear golden, so awesome. =)
