I'm not religious but the Indonesian one is pretty badass.

If we're posting Russian Artists... https://musings-on-art.org/sites/default/files/media/high-water_0.jpg Andrey Remnev 'High Water', love this painting.

I have a book with his paintings, I love the slight surrealistic angle in them/ https://i.imgur.com/heVcFoH.png https://i.imgur.com/rhdTVq2.png https://i.imgur.com/wv6XF0j.png

This Photographer Shoots Portraits in the Style of Old Master Pa.. https://www.facebook.com/chrisknightphoto/ I've been quite amazed by photographers who are able to use light to make them look like paintings, and they manage to balance between a painting and a photograph.

I like that one a lot.

All those ones were shot on 35mm film! I scanned the film into digital files using a flatbed scanner. A little bit of post-processing in photoshop, but most of the nice 'old fashioned' tones are just because it's 'old fashioned' technology. Seeing as you guys seemed to like those photos, I'll post a couple more. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6749239775_4393cb89b3_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7012/6722912243_7e060543ac_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6719921633_8251b22bfc_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6749248499_7a1d6b947a_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7026/6749285993_bf882ef759_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6755809001_39a7748748_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7138/7073273299_ea55d21d52_c.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5462/6927163582_dee7cbb839_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6749267333_fd0492c7df_b.jpg

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1495/26040508412_d220ca33a9_o_d.jpg Rare photo of Oahu, Hawaii without cloud cover taken by British Astronaut Tim Peake aboard the ISS. Being from Oahu, I can confirm that it almost never has zero cloud coverage so seeing home like this is almost surreal, like some high definition CG render.

Is there a reason it's always so cloudy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Hawaii#Cloud_formation Basically almost constant trade winds off of the ocean.

I for one welcome our robot overlords

They were all shot on my father's (now sadly lost) Olympus OM-10, with either a 50mm f1.8 prime or a 35-70mm kit lens.

A hurricane evacuation sign in New Orleans, Louisiana. See those dark horizontal lines on it? Those are water marks left by major flooding caused by previous hurricanes, so each line is sort of a mark of how high the floodwater/storm surge levels are capable of getting. http://igeogers.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/8/1/11812015/8560712.png?265

I legitimately thought that this was a render of an island from a video game, something like Far Cry.

long-range and early warning radars are the scariest looking shit, somehow probably because of the whole "this thing goes beep when the apocalypse is five minutes away" thing

You forgot the best one though https://i.imgur.com/wVCgyhh.jpg

Where is that and what's it called? It looks awesome despite being a bit...out there

Old Dutch election posters of every major ideology in Dutch politics in the 20th century: https://d66.nl/content/uploads/sites/2/2014/11/Vrijzinnig-Democraten.jpg A poster for the Liberal Democratic league. Posters from the first half of the 20th century often had metaphors worked into them. At the top it says 'Stay on course!' The text on the ship means 'Ship of state'. This is a metaphor that was often used during this period. The state was a ship that needed a good captain, and in this case should be steered away from the extremes, which at the time were the socialists and the confessionals. The cliffs at the flanks mean 'reaction' and 'revolution'. At the bottom: 'Vote for the liberal democrats'. http://www.vintageposter.nl/nl/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/30051000637592.jpg A Social Democratic Workers' Party poster from 1918, when the first election was held with proportional representation and universal suffrage. At the top it says: 'vote red!' The worker is freeing himself from the octopus of capitalism (lol). On it's tentacles it says: anarchy, famine, war, etc. 'Choose the candidates of the Social Democratic Workers' Party'. http://www.martinvanneck.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ARP-1946.jpg A poster from the Anti-Revolutionary Party from 1946. The ARP was a protestant christian-democratic party. Another amusing metaphor here: The plane with the Dutch lion on it, representing the Dutch state, is about to run into the runway blocks(?) of 'bureaucracy' and 'state-socialism'. Under the plane it says 'Netherlanders, remove that block'. In the propellers of the plane it says from left to right: 'authority', 'freedom', 'social justice' and 'people's power'. At the bottom it says 'Vote Anti-Revolutionary'. http://www.martinvanneck.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/KVP-1946.jpg A Catholic People's Party poster, also from 1946. The Catholic People's Party was also a christian-democratic party, but catholic, unlike the ARP. At the top it says: 'a healthy family, a strong people'. At the bottom it says: 'lifted from material worries'. The hand of the party lifts the family out of the water of poverty and other such material concerns. None of these parties exist anymore, they've all merged into other ones, or different parties took their place.

https://youtu.be/Cv3LNNwSx6M Just discovered Sentinel steam lorries. This is the most english thing i've ever seen. I love it. I need it.

You really get a sense of the "hand of god" torque of steam when that thing starts rolling.

Roll Coal for real.

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGAmpGnn6Eo/UrIWNRgb8oI/AAAAAAAAA7o/-Q7qX8CT9ok/s1600/Rach.jpg Sergei Rachmaninoff, Walt Disney, and Vladimir Horowitz (L to R), taken during a 1942 tour of Walt Disney Studios.

https://youtu.be/eXIDFx74aSY It's easy to forget that Walt Disney was actually a paragon of scientific progress, and used disney as a massive R&D venture to push science forward, and skimmed off developments to make money, which resulted in things like the animatatronics at disney world, and the amusement park themselves were supposed to be a test bed for a practical utopian idea of a technologicaly actualized future. Plus they researched all sorts of cool things that never saw the light of day, like what we currently know as exosuits. Supposedly the US government asked for the development of those exosuits, to which Walt agreed to under the condition that they were only used for domestic use like construction, and not for warefare, but scrapped the project in anger when he found out that that's what the US wanted it for. Of course after he died, the new guard went "fuck that" and dropped all of it in favor of just being an entertainment company.
