Hi y'all
We have a very successful thread for funny pictures.
We have a few for hot andor underdressed people.
We have a Badass Vids thread.
We have Ganjames' Rumblr thread.
I want to try something different, and start a thread for beautiful or heartwarming or just plain cool things ... pics you're glad to have seen.

Now as the first rule of T&T is "no rules", I would present this as a request please: nothing ugly or mean or questionable or the wrong kind of stupid. Please. cn

The Rainbow Man: “During my daily assignments as a local press photographer, I need to find an interesting images to improve my own photography skills. As I saw this beautiful colorful building, which is a hotel in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, a man suddenly appeared and looked out. Without wasting time, I grabbed my camera and waited for the right moment”. (Photo by Ahmad Izzrafiq Alias/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)



Fly by: This photo was taken on the ice near Arctic Bay last month. As far as we know, it is the highest latitude passenger flight on a hot air balloon ever. It was quite the sight to see a hot air balloon fly between the iceberg columns – it is one iceberg but looks like two. (Photo by Michelle Valberg/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)



Sunrise on Palouse Hills: The sun's first rays warm the rolling hills of the Palouse Country in Eastern Washington. (Photo by Randall Roberts/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)



Dragon Wave: This photo was taken from the rocks at Ke'e beach, as a wave formed into the shape of a dragon. (Photo by Lace Andersen/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)



Blizka: The Buzludzha Monument on a 1,441-meter-high peak was built by the Bulgarian communist regime to commemorate events in 1891 when the socialists led by Dimitar Blagoev assembled secretly in the area to form an organized socialist movement. It was opened in 1981. No longer maintained by the Bulgarian government, it has fallen into disuse. Approaching and visiting the building in the middle of winter was a real adventure.

This one puts me in mind of the climax of "Close Encounters". cn

This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Yes, CN it is a Christian vid but the beauty on the screen is simply scintillating. It makes me just want to inhale and drink deeply everything that the world has to offer. The photography is top shelf. Just give it a chance.
