Wow - how cool is that.
I watched the video - loved it - and when I saw the lion I thought - 'hmmm, where do I know that face from?'

You dog!

Thank you B. for the great thread!

AMAZING PICTURES! Makes me want to go on a hike away from all this cement, walls, electric lights and go take in some of this amazing creation!
Great post!!!! Thank you!

S&F!
Thanks for that post, really great photos.

Absolutely stunning

That pic of the groper coming through the fish school is amazing. I even saved the polar bear pic as my desktop background

S & F

Amazing, the one with the shark is good, wonder if the photographer knew it was coming? Bet he crapped himself if not!!

Those are some awesome pictures! I really liked the aurora one, I would love to see something like that and the polar bear one OMG too friggin cute. The turtle is a good one too. Makes me laugh because of the look on its face The one of I believe the baboon hugging the baby baboon is amazing as well. I love how animals show love to one another just like we do in so many ways.

I would love to know where the 7th pic from the bottom up was taken. Its below the zebras and above I believe a humpback whale.
