Great pictures, and it's cool to see the small town of Ramenskoe on the same page with Paris and Cannes. By the way, Ramenskoe is actually not a part of Moscow, it is situated about 45 kms to the SE of it.

Is this picture ( http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/464576026_2911d68187.jpg ) really located in Germany. It sure looks a lot like one we have here, in Quebec city, Canada. I'm not really sure though.

AT least one of those uncredited paintings is the work of Trompe L'oeil artist John Pugh.
Check him out.

Nice blog. Couple of corrections on the Shinkansens. The trains are not names Nozomi and Hikari etc, but rather the services. Nozomi is the super rapid service between Osaka and Tokyo, and it can use the 500 and new N700 trains. Also the 800 is older than the 700. The numerical naming system is based on whether the trains run east or west of Tokyo. Even numbers run west, odd run east.

The 2nd last picture in the Shinkansen picture series(Blue train end) isn't a shinkansen train but a JR - E351 commuter train, just adding that.
On a side note, yes the french have the speed, but their trains are like what, 4 cars long? The MAX E4 (double decker)shinkansen can carry 1,634 passengers in a 16 car configuration, and hits 300Kmh. which is pretty impressive.

I had taken some photos of the opulent interiors of the new (I believe) Tsumbame line services, both the relay and rapid services. Unfortunately, I LOST my bloody memory card..I am going back to the Japan at the end of the year, so if I have time I may go down south again, and retake the pics.

Hey,
if you like nice design on trains, check out the German ICE-3 ;).
It runs on the new LGV-Est between France and Germany, on L2 in Belgium between Brussels, Cologne and Frankfurt and of course it acts as a fast intercity service between Germany's major cities(hence the name: intercity express).

00-series Shinkansens run on JR Central and JR West (southbound from Tokyo)
E-series shinkansens are used by JR East (northbound from Tokyo)

There's no need for flying train to go from France to England -- there's the Channel Tunnel, and the high-speed Eurostar trains.
(Brussels to London is just under two hours, Paris to London just over two hours.)

To be pedantic, Cthulhu is not a species, but a specific unique entity, one of the Great Old Ones - essentially an exceedingly malevolent and locally powerful immortal being.
(Comparable, say, to a minor God in the Greek pantheon, but without any regard for humanity and with pseudopods.)

Beautiful pictures. Although I believe that if that third picture down had been sent from one of the martian rovers, it would have been cited as evidence of extra-terrestrial life, does look like a face in profile, or is it just me ?

Beautiful photos. Is it just me, or does it seem like this valley would be an ideal place to practice a manned Mars mission? Very dry, desolate, isolated, and cold....

If there is frozen water in Antartica then doesn't that mean that the contenient used to not be covered in ice. This means that "global warming" could be a natural thing but just being onset sooner due to human intervention?

Wow! These pictures are amazing. They've completely captured my imagination for the last several days.

Austin,
The existence of frozen water would also occur if the contenient used to be covered in ice - that is what ice is.
Even if Antarctica was once iceless (indeed this was almost certainly the case in Pangea and Gondwana Land) that says nothing of what would happen to our modern costal cities if this were to happen again. The same applies to animals now (but not formerly) trapped on islands or low-lying land, unique speciation events in costal forrests, world heritage coastal sites, etc.
Nor does this prove, or even suggest, that humankind is not causing these changes this time around, as many would argue this SUDDEN rate of change (rather than the possible millenia in previous ages) suggests.

The underwater lakes are a natural phenomenon. Most are buried under 2 miles of ice and are suspected to have microbial life forms that have been isolated from the rest of the planet for a very long time. Also NASA does test different designs down there. When I was there they asked if we could hop on a snow machine and ride 70 miles in the middle of winter to collect a big rolling ball that had hung up on the ice somewhere. We politely declined.

Mammatus clouds do not form on the cloud base, rather the anvil of a thunderstorm. Also, while they accompany severe weather, they most certainly are not dependent or a byproduct of tornadic activity. They are pockets of descending air brought on by the fact there is a large amount of air being drawn aloft by the updraft of the thunderstorm.

That last cartoon is a WWII vintage "Up Front" classic by Bill Mauldin
It's worth noting, in those images with the tanks under, or partially under water, the way some modern tanks are designed it would be physically impossible for the driver to escape if the turret wasn't positioned just exactly where it should be. Meaning that it's entirely possible that the tank drivers responsible for those accidents, drowned.
