keepitcovert 842 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ever seen a photograph that made a real impact on you, the one that made me think was entitled earthrise taken by william anders on christmas eve 1968 while orbiting the moon. As in the title it shows the earth rising on the horizon of the moon, complete reverse of what we see. Also makes you think just how vunerable this planet is. Any photos made a similar impression on you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee C 55 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just been going through some old photos and the ones of me looking young have made an impact. Time goes by all too quickly. Make the most of what time you have! All the best Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shroob 9 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Earthrise for those wondering: I like pictures that make you realise how small/insignificant you are, but at the same time also how lucky you are. My desktop's always changing, Not sure if this counts, but one of my favourite 'photographs' that makes you think comes from the website Reddit (I'm sure some of you will know of it). Anyway, one man posted a request for the Reddit community to photoshop a photo he had of his young daughter and her friend. Unfortunately she had leukemia. He wondered if anyone could change the background to something interesting/funny so he could show his daughter (I think in an effort to cheer her up, or even remember her by). EDIT: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/lqx59/photoshop_request_this_is_the_photo_of_my/?t=1319839522 LINK TO THE REDDIT THREAD The original photo: After the changes: Edited February 16, 2012 by shroob 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratreeper 441 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 The green and blue are the same colour. It is a good reminder of how easily deceived humans are, that what you swear you saw can be bollocks and further to that how false memories can seem real. In a similar way we only see a tiny spectrum of light, of objects of certain sizes and only hear a few sounds. So to sum up, an optical illusion can make you feel very very small and the next time you hear of eye-wintess evidence it makes you wonder... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 There's one doing the rounds on Facebook at the moment about a German Sheperd that had it's face blown off. Apparently some kids thought it would be funny to put a powerful firework in the dogs mouth and tape it shut....the injuries are horrendous and make you wonder about some humans as a species.

undisputed 1,664 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Horrendous! German Shepherd's Face Blown Off By Firecracker Filed Under: Sad Sad Dog Animal Cruelty RIP German Shepherd This is incredibly sad and disturbing. Last month, two drunken teenagers in Bosnia duct-taped a firework to a German Shepherd named Vucko and blew off his face. Horrible. Poor Vucko wandered the streets for five days after the incident, in agony and unable to eat anything. Authorities finally picked him up and brought him to a veterinarian's office, but unfortunately he had to be euthanized when vets couldn't perform reconstructive surgery. As a result of this tragedy, care2 advocacy website has started a petition to urge "Bosnian authorities to hunt down the guilty parties, expose the severity of animal abuse, and create proper legislation that will protect animals." So very, very sad. We truly hope that justice is served, and measures are taken to stop animal cruelty in Bosnia, and all over the world. Rest in Peace, Vucko. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
