Cool Pictures VIII: Cool. Just cool.

Good detective work, I used tineye and a lot of korean sites came up, and I know that there are a lot of Christians there (30% of the pop or so) so it seemed to fit

This reminds me of a mountain me and my dad climbed when I was 7 or so, it took us the entire day to get up there and get back down. At the top was big metal cross, which is dangerous, in case there are storms. There are also very steep drops everywhere. One of the coolest Dad-son experiences I remember from my childhood!

Can't find too many overly cool shots of it, so putting in spoiler tags

Spoiler :

I never really thought about it, but maybe this is a big reason why the mountains are such a big draw for me.

 

I visited this when I was in first grade, with the class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes'_Cross_on_Caraiman_Peak
Mountains are awsome - the sea sucks. I've lived by the sea my whole life. I'm moving now, i'll still live relatively close to the sea tho...

 

IMHO the sea and the mountains have a lot in common - They also both tend to have fast changing weather effects and can give you a feeling of vastness compared to our tiny little human scales

Spoiler :

A friend of mine took this picture a few years ago on one of our hiking trips in the southern alps.

 

So to someplace like Vancouver, where the mountains meet the sea.

 

Nope - to London, where the nothing meets the nothing but the sea is sorta close.

 

Explaining a flag:

 

^Some predictions are pretty accurate. Must be from before 1903 as a can't find any reference to airplanes. They do mention airships and telephone.

 

Who'd think that the most inaccurate prediction there was free university education.

 

It does mention jet propulsion with that trans-atlantic ship

Very cool to see a new version of these kind of time capsule predictions

 

It has lots of accurate predictions even if the means of carrying them out is wrong. Common problems of the day are predicted to be solved: Heating and cooling; dying young; slow communications; distribution limitations; overcrowded cities.

He predicts cell phones, air power, tanks, amazon.com; animal extinctions, global communications networks that include both sound and images, pizza delivery, taller people, CAT scans and more.

 

Sure beats Nostredamus.

 

Excellent. You will note there is no mention of women, negroes, Asians (except endless battles in The Orient), homosexuals or of course cat videos.
