Wow..Those were incredible. Makes you realize how much is happening in the world and how much we take for granted. Also makes you realize how beautiful the planet is.

These pictures are either heart-wrenchingly soul-crushing, heart-warmingly spirit-lifting or just plain hilarious.

this shit is always incredible. this one really got me:



In seawater covered by a thick layer of spilled oil, two Chinese firefighters, Zheng Zhanhong (center) and Han Xiaoxiong (top right) attempt to rescue their fellow firefighter Zhang Liang (only his hand visible) from drowning beneath the oil slick during clean-up operations at the port of Dalian, China on July 20, 2010. Zhang Liang was unable to resurface, and drowned.
