  • I wouldn't have imagined Turkey to be that beautiful. It is a definite spot for me to see in the near future :)

  • Most of the sites you describe are Greek and were taken by the Turks - they merely preserved it to have revenue from tourism.
    Read more

  • I visited Antalya in the Navy in '89. We had no idea what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised.
    Read more

  • None of the sites described here are Greek. They are preserved because they are history.

  • heavenly!!!!
    Read more

  • In response to "anonymous" who made the comment that "most of the sites are Greek...": Why can't you just enjoy the beauty of nature and history without delving into politics and silly nationalism?

    Muy buenas. You should see turkish houses when u come to Turkey.
    Read more

  • Well said Omer - re: the anonymoue comment about who a place "belongs to". That's why there are people who will always have a cause for war.
    For the rest of those who are intelligent enough to just enjoy the beauty, we're grateful.

  • That mini tank is a prototype. It's intended to be used for crowd control in the case of riots. The short pipes at the front are smoke grenade launchers, just some off the shelf parts shared with MBT's. The launchers at the sides are teargas guns. I'm not sure about gun mounted at the top, but it looks like a high caliber gun for rubber bullets.

  • The astronaut patting Snoopy is Thomas P. Stafford, member of the Apollo 10 crew. Their spacecraft's nickname was "Snoopy"...

  • I think that martial arts technique is from Kung Fu, not Aikido. I gather this from the text under the pictures. Aikido is generally a non-violent martial art that redirects an opponent's energy, rather than using strikes such as this.

  • The extreme car flipping was done in the James Bond movie, "The Man With The Golden Gun".

  • The whitewater kayaker in the granite gorge is at California's Upper Cherry Creek - one of the best of the best. Check out this video:

  • I believe that the footage of the people playing "soccer" in the Radar dish is actually of people playing cricket. You can even see the wicket in the photo

  • No such compilation should go without at least one nod to Dr. Harold Edgerton, who was the first to reveal the beauty frozen in an instant of time. The first "milk drop crown" photo in existence is one that he made.

  • Why is it amazing that water looks great without any added colouring?

  • The fourth picture in the "High-speed photography group" isn't a photography. It is a digitally rendered image.

  • These are just amazing!! Thank you for turning me on to these artists. Fantastic!

  • Jackson,

    Doc Edgerton was a master, brilliant inventor, and by all accounts, a warm and generous individual. His name will always be associated with this kind of work. But, in fairness, A. M. Worthington published a book of high-speed photographs of splashes in 1908. The large portion of his work was done in the late 1800's.

  • I believe that the group called "Dynamics of the Droplet's Fall" should be credited to John Bush at M.I.T.: http://www-math.mit.edu/~bush/bones.html

  • Thank you Martin for the info; I also put in the credit

  • Great article, but you overlooked a great site ironically called Liquidartgallery.com. There are some amazing images there by michael melgar. I first saw some of his photos on dpreview but his gallery is excellent.

  • High speed photography always fascinated me. The above pictures are a true inspiration.

    I constructed a timer for high speed photography that allows me to trigger a flash or or a camera shutter. I was able to capture water drops, popping balloons and shuttering light bulbs without much trouble.

    Please check some of my work:

  • The pig-thing is for fixing an animal (usually cows / pigs) while cutting their hoofs/claws. On the swiss countryside (where I live), the "Klauenschneider" (claw-cutter) is a common profession - a man with a device as on the picture mounted on a trailer moving from farm to farm!

  • Wow, that defines "mudding" in a new way. A mighty challenging overland trip.

  • In fact, it's not a Siberia. This road is in european part of Russia, while the Siberia is in Asia.

  • To cpcat: yes, it so.
    This is Siberia.
    Europian part of Russia end on Ural'skie mountain, and begin asian part Russia.
    In Ekaterinburg there is a line, on the one hand which is written the Europe, and with another Asia

    Best regards from Russia. Moscow.

  • These people should seriously think about other means of travel... like donkeys.

  • Siberian roads are prob the best to test which production vehicles are the true '4x4.' Interewesting to see a hummer, range rover and land rover to test it out.
