Just some cool photos...nothing more, nothing less...

Hi folks,

We all come across them from time to time, and they are inspiring.  Therefore I figured we might as well have a thread where you can post any cool photos you come across.  These aren't meant to have any common theme.  They are just as the title says, just some cool photos...nothing more, nothing less... ;)

Here are a couple to start the ball rolling:






Regards,

Greg
