golden hours of photography are very real, moreso in the mountains if you ask me

This picture looks so darn good ! My first thought - This looks like taken from the last scene of "The Castaway" (with Tom Hanks)

Spoiler the actual scene :

There is something meaningful there in that vastness of space, and "choosing Your path" vibe while on the crossroads. Definitely America is not a place for agoraphobic people though

You make great pictures @cardgame !

Well thanks

Zombie Fungus!

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49615571

That is the one you went with? I know it is very freaky biology, but you did not like the raccoon one:

A raccoon pokes her face out of a 1970s Ford Pinto on a deserted farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. She was using the car as a safe place to bring up her young. The hole was too small for predatory coyotes to pass through.

AAAARRRGGGHHHH I book marked that picture last night to post here but forgot about it!

That fungus inspired the game The Last of Us (I should really stop talking about that game). Here's some pictures of the zombies in the game and then a picture of a cordiceps-infected wasp:

Spoiler :

It's called the zombie fungus because it takes over the brain of the insects it infects and forces them to climb high branches so they can die in place and sprout fruiting bodies that shower the area with spores to infect more insects. The game is premised on this fungus infecting humans and turning them into zombies to further spread the fungus.

It appears the caiman won.

ı don't like fancy colours , ı don't like sharkmouths , ı can't say ı would like any of the Sundowners crews , but hey , it really means when it comes to that ı have been promising that it will be only helicopters , tiltrotors and them Phantoms so that nobody will be able to say there was anything that stopped Athens doing it has been begging to do like since 1950s or 60s . See , nothing between P-47

to T-47

, only Phantoms . Not because this is a thread of pictures but like ı have so much fans who expect this and short of this there might be , you know , a real war ? Am so serious that ı will not blame the Stuntwoman for this post .

Flea?

 

[Arakhor]

Yes, let's.

 

[Broken_Erika]

 

[Ferocitus]

Yes, let's.

If the English don't like cat fleas, the French mite.

Flea?

Don't fleas usually have the characteristic three-part mouth? "Y-shaped"

Nevermind, that was leeches:



Flees look terrible. Like shock-troops for a cockroach army.
