Cool pics

I sometimes find nice pics and pics that don't fall under the 'Funny' category, and there's nowhere to post them. So, here's a thread for all those nice looking, cool pics that you find on the internet.

Starting off with an unusual perspective to a common picture:

The vulcans were real beasts and slightly topical I thinks with the other posts ala falklands

The Lanc looks good. I may be old fashioned but the Lanc looks better than the Vulcan.

North Korean M-1978 Koksan guns in action. These are the only DPRK guns that can hit Seoul from the DMZ.

Storm on Saturn

That faded bit in front and to the side of the storm is... the storm's tail.

Not necessarily, fingers are still crossed the main spars can be replaced adequately.

Donations of any size always needed to get her in the air for the forthcoming season - http://www.vulcantothesky.org/

Below is one of the coolest, and luckiest shots ever -

It was first spotted late 2010 and lasted for months.
