Instant karma
"Hello, we just found the rotting corpse of a filthy parasite-infested wild animal lying on a dirty roadway where scavengers carrying God knows what diseases have probably been gnawing on it. Would you like to come and eat it?"
When future archaeologists excavate graves from our time
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, but it looks very cool
Planet Mercury
Roman town
The Edmund Fitzgerald, the ship commemorated in the classic song
Sagrada Familia cathedral, Barcelona
Kyoto
The acropolis of Athens, seen from above
Colmar, France -- once part of Germany, as the architecture suggests
The mummy of lady Chenet-aa of ancient Egypt, undergoing a CT scan -- perhaps thousands of years from now your remains will be studied using technologies you today cannot imagine
Albert Bridge, London
Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic
Miranda, a moon of Uranus
X-ray, bat in flight
Can ghosts be that hot-looking?

Excellent. I wonder how they got a bat to fly into an X-ray machine.
ReplyDeleteLove them all. Brakes made me laugh out loud. A fun Happy Tuesday post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
Excellent indeed! Fabulous collection. I sure wouldn't want to be on that cruise ship rocking in the waves.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your roundups. They make me want to look up things to see if there is more to what I just saw. Thank you for posting all this for us
ReplyDeleteSome of these are just extraordinary.
ReplyDeleteThat really was instant karma for that guy though.
The bridge falling is a nightmare for sure.
Seafury: I doubt the bat was given a choice. It may have been tethered with a filament and "flying" stationary in a sort of wind-tunnel-like set-up.
ReplyDeleteSandee: That trucker will never live that down.
Ricko: I'd be amazed if the ship rolling like that didn't kill people. Think how they'd be bounced around inside their rooms.
Leanna: Thanks! They'll keep coming.
Mary: The purse snatcher got closer to justice than he'd ever get in court. As for the bridge, based on the caption, it was in Russia. Gangster states always have crap civil engineering.
I was fascinated by the Delft-style porcelain skeleton. It was disturbing and beautiful all at the same time. Great pics, as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wonder if somebody actually made that, or is it just a computer-generated image. A unique piece either way.
