Wow! Awesome pics there.

There is no doubt that planet earth uses more makeup than the other planets.

Awesome pics, in other words.

Hey that looks familiar

You should have left it for this weekend...it's pretty white there now with all the snowfalls the last couple of days...

Ummmm....you went hiking???

That looks amazing and so beautiful.

Looks Like Montana...

Where exactly is that?

Looks pretty! The antialiasing on those pictures is incredible!

Awesome pictures Its terrible that we as a species are destroying such a beautiful planet

Very nice pics SB. I'm especially liking the third one.

This planet is killing it's own nature much faster than humans, actually.

Very nice. Reminds me of terrain around here. With less trees, and greener grass.

And on the topic of global environment, most of the weather and climate trends seem to be too well-entrenched anyways. Looking at geologic history, we're pretty close to the end of the current warm period between ice ages. Right now, our planet's geography lends itself to ice ages that last around 100,000 years broken up by 10,000 year warm periods, and we're pretty close to the end of this warm period. None of us will likely live to see the start of the next ice age, but it'll probably come. And not overnight like that "day after tomorrow" junk.

All that is of course, just how I (and a hefty portion of the scientific community) see things, and it's very possible that I'm wrong. But for the moment, much of the planet is amazingly beautiful. Glad you enjoyed your hiking trip, SB, south africa looks amazing.

The Day After Tomorrow was not a junk. I wouldn't want to watch a few thousand years long movie, what could they do other than make the weather change quickly?

Monks Cowl, Drakensburg, Kwazulu-Natal

Google Maps Go to this page, if the points don't show up, then in the search bar, type in "monks cowl" and you will find it

BTW, if you pan towards the bottom right (South East), you will see a town called Howick. That's where the devs hide

Oh, no no no, you got me wrong. I loved the movie the day after tomorrow, but I don't think that kind of scenario is realistic is all.

yeah, what cyberax said

Ah, so you guys don't live in Antarctica. I always thought that seemed fishy.

Ye that was a fun day we got very high but we didnt put up those pics though... and no we dont live in antartica...

like cybarax said we lurk under howick in a deep cave surrounded by wild animals...

But DC told me he lived in Antarctica... he lied to me!

Oh, wait, on second thought maybe it was I who told DC he lived in Antarctica...

So you guys live underground. That was my second guess.

Glad you guys had fun.

hey.. it was cool..

btw, heres a pic of US!! the DEVS!! [br][img width=800 height=600]../../files/public/1180343439_67_FT36529_pic_0054b_.jpg[/img][br]

Yes... RS did go hiking... This does seem unlikely? It is surprisingly not...

We only hiked about 12KMs the first day, but parts were more climb than hike, especially that end part!
Then the next day a meager 7KMs hike...

My wheel chair kept getting caught on things...

As for envormental problems... Anyone who thinks people are not doing any damage is obviously a insane or worse, political...

Ye what DC said.... Nice!!

I imagine its rather hard to hike in that wheel chair of yours isn't it, DC.

You know, for some reason I always imagined you guys as short little cave dwellin' folks. Maybe you guys are hiding behind those 3 that are standing in dynamic action hero poses?

It's hard to see you guys well, you look like shadow figures.

How about a similar pic with the sun shining at your front instead of the back?

I think they planned that pic to be like that on purpose.

hehehe...nice one guys

If I'm right, DC is on the left, SB in the middle and BE on the right...

Great pic...typical african winter sunset...pity about the power line!



hehehe...nice thing about the net, and no you're not gonna get a clearer pic of them

Aw come on, couldn't you at least send your staff better pictures?
(hint: me and Xav)

Nice. Glad to see you guys are still getting sun exposure.

No sorry no pics for you MUAHHAHAH!!! that all your getting.....

yeah.. we'd put up a more distinct pic, but hey! you know us

our staff.. nah, they can suffer like the rest
