  • unbelievable...fantastic capture!

  • I've seen those pics. very beautiful, but they are not frozen waves. it's actually glacial ice that's been eroded by wind or sun into a wave like shape. the color and clarity of the ice is the give away.
    check out "Blue Ice" on wikipedia

  • "There's always one who has to ruin it"

    It's either spectacular and beautiful or it is not. Why can't we accept the beauty of a garden without also having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it?

  • No glaciers her or waves that big

  • Does anyone know exactly and with quite certainty where theses photos were taken?

  • http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/antarcticwave.asp

    Has info on who took the pics and when. Also explains they aren't frozen waves, as an earlier poster already indicated.

  • "The Sultan bought the Airbus A340-212 brand new for roughly $100m and had it flown to Waco from the Boeing factory"

    Someone needs to tell the source that no Airbus A340 would be flown "brand new" (or, likely, at any other time) from a Boeing factory. Airbus is a European company, Boeing is American, and they are in perpetual competition.

    He should buy Boeing.

  • Great pics! Girls and guns!

    I wonder if the departure from this marketing trend can be tied to the decline in auto sales of American manufacturers?

  • How sad, when I look at the American cars and European cars, I see why we're such a gas-guzzling nation. There wasn't a single small car in those ads. Not blaming you, that was clearly the trend, and still is. While people came up with cute and sporty small cars in Europe, all we had here were huge monsters. Seems like the folks in Europe had more fun.

  • You're right, the girls are quite lost in the same frame with huge american cars - you can hardly see them in a photo :)

  • I love this post. That red and black 1959 Ford Fairlane is the exact car I have parked in my driveway. I have been restoring it for the past year. Great pictures!
