Human beings are amazing. The desire for thrill. The desire to conquer. 

The desire to die.

Wouldn't say this a 'cool' picture but man, this is one powerful picture.

On July 19, 2013, in an event celebrated the world over, NASA's Cassini spacecraft slipped into Saturn's shadow and turned to image the planet, seven of its moons, its inner rings -- and, in the background, our home planet, Earth.

With the sun's powerful and potentially damaging rays eclipsed by Saturn itself, Cassini's onboard cameras were able to take advantage of this unique viewing geometry. They acquired a panoramic mosaic of the Saturn system that allows scientists to see details in the rings and throughout the system as they are backlit by the sun. This mosaic is special as it marks the third time our home planet was imaged from the outer solar system; the second time it was imaged by Cassini from Saturn's orbit; and the first time ever that inhabitants of Earth were made aware in advance that their photo would be taken from such a great distance.

With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images. Images taken using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide-angle camera were combined and mosaicked together to create this natural-color view. A brightened version with contrast and color enhanced and an unannotated version are also available.

This image spans about 404,880 miles (651,591 kilometers) across.

FLOWER SCULPTURES PARADE IN ZUNDERT, NETHERLANDS
Bloemencorso, the annual parade of flowers in Zundert. Despite the relatively small nature of Zundert (a small town with a population of about 20,000) the variety of and ingenuity of these sculptures seems to know no bounds.

I've seen those pics for years now the same ones and I'm surprised its new to a few of you guys, then it makes me think

1. They are sorta doing it for shock value or to get the picture famous in a way if you get what I'm trying to say, they could've easily just went to the bottom of said cliff and camp if they wanted to in the last pic but understandable if they don't want for fear they'll be mauled by wildlife.

2. regardless of #1; they have to carry all of that!!!

do they all just go climbing then one of then goes "hold up crew... I like the limestone here, set up camp!"
