This guy's statue's are some of the most amazingly creepy things I've ever seen

wow.

who is the artist?

Gustav Vigeland

The Gardens in Oslo, Norway have 200+ sculptures this dude did... starting in the 1920's...

On a camping trip in the smokies we hung our friend off the side of a cliff because he really wanted this shot, I think it was worth it

Frognerparken if you want more info. Lots of neat stuff. Never went but scanned through a ton of my parents pictures from their European tour

Is the title called "Tuff Luv"?

Wow, very nice!

You would've had my vote!

Here is my favourite picture !
You know that soupy green stuff on ponds? This is what it looks like close up. Look carefully in the middle...there is a tiny golden bug, who looks as if he was smiling for the camera.  



 

I took this a couple years ago out in my backyard.  We had a storm that was tossing lightning strikes out on the plateau every couple minutes.  This photo was taken with my SLR (along with about 50+ attempts where I "missed").  The fun part is that I had all manual settings and was accidentally set to tungsten lighting, resulting in the very blue hue you see here.

This is the bug's version of "Where's Waldo?".

This was taken several years ago and it's still on of my favorites.  The horse (Bailey) was acting silly about a snowman when we were out riding.  My husband, a discipline-loving man, made Bailey a snowman so he could conquer his fears.  I think it worked. 

A pic i took from my dorm room window my first week of freshman year at Arizona State

A few more older ones. I'll get around to the shots that didn't make the cut for our weekly contests in a bit.

The mountain biking shot was taken on film in 2000ish.

grrrrrr, have to try from a different computer
OK, not my favorite, but favorites of those I have access to...  I heard symphonies in my head as the school appeared out of the gloom and descended,in the hundreds upon hundreds, for 2 or 3 minutes, then disappeared into the gloom again.

Cocos Island, Costa Rica

Great photo! What level of concern is required with these type of shark? 

thanks.  Absolutely, 100% zero, at least in this environment.  They mass on open ocean pinnacles such as Cocos and the Galapagos, scientists think to breed, although no one has ever seen it. 

They are actually very shy and you are very lucky to get one to come close to you.  That usually involves being all by yourself, at 120 feet or so, hiding behind a rock, holding your breath.  Once you move or breathe out, they usually scatter. 

There's another dive at Cocos with feeding white tips at night.  There's one location (probably many, but this is one site), where thy school at night and hunt on the reef, and when the pack sees a fish, they go freaking crazy.  Severa sharks will case a fish into a hole, only to get taken out the other side.  And you are right down amongst them, hundreds of them, and they couldn't care less that you are there.  One of, if not the most, amazing dives I've ever done.
