If you had posted this pic in the OP then it would have been a thread, opportunity wasted....well you can still edit it but yeah.
Quoted for new page.
Plus We need some NatGeo up in here.
To make my raging winter post relevant to this thread, I have to say that during these months we occasionally get jaw-dropping sky scenery formed by Chinook winds (or foehn winds as it's apparently called elsewhere). They can look pretty ominous when they blanket the city and leave an arched hole at the end.
(but they also signal a dramatic and sudden increase in temperatures, so that's a welcomed relief during winter.)

OP join the army and get sent to Iraq. You will be in awe of the sky while you are in the middle of the desert.

Nothing better then smoking a cig in the middle of nowhere staring at the stars with no city lights.

I went to a star party a while back that was hosted on top of a mountain in a national forest in Pennsylvania. Now that was a night sky.

Still, looking at the sky is a great way to spend an evening, not matter where you live.
Is that real? Can you really see all those star clusters and such with the naked eye?
I thought you could only see something like that through a telescope.

The Milky Way is visible, you just need to be in a place without light pollution.

Link because it's a huge image.
Looking at the night sky is one of my favorite things to do. Whenever I'm out at night I'll end up looking up at least once. I find it extremely peaceful as well.

Great pictures man. I just started playing with my new camera so hopefully I'll eventually get good enough to take photos like these. I got a lot of learning to do first though.

I hate empty night skies... Stars tend to make me feel to small and insignificant, those glowey bastards. I truly and honestly love overcast skies more than anything. I live in the northwest and when I see a nice gray day with fog so low you feel like your going to choke on it.... I just sort of get a warm fuzzy feeling.

I'll just shamelessly drop some of my own pictures here...
These were some HDR tests I did, I'm not ashamed of them but not too proud either:

Considering the fact that the sky where I am right now looks like the picture Always-honest posted then yeah, I prefer pictures right now (I'd insert a :lol-smiley here but there are none :'( )brianjones said:
Anime has a bad rap due to all the loli-lovers and otakus, then on a lower level would be those who claim X/Y series is the greatest thing in all of existence. As for me I enjoy anime and cartoons in general so fuck the haters of animation, period.Stat Flow said:

I mean just look at that shit. The sky never ceases to amaze me. All the different cloud formations and colours that change throughout the day blow my mind. My house is basically on top of a big mountain and we get some ridiculous sunsets, sometimes I'll sit down with mates and chat whilst sinking a few beers and just watch it.
HD widescreen version please!
