The Nature Thread

[TONGO]

Thought there should be a thread for anything about Nature, be it weather, land, sea, or animals.

Ive collected thousands of photos over the internet, and the most incredible are the nature photos. National Geographic leads the pack when it comes to breathtaking photography.

Before posting some of those pics, I found a cool video from NatGeo of a momma rabbit protecting her bunnies from a snake. She wasnt built to fight snake, but she made up for it with her enthusiasm.

Nice thread! Maybe I will post a few of my own nature photos here:)

Mine are three places I would love to visit!

first one is Mount Fitz Roy... near El Chalten in Argentina.. Mount Fitz Roy is one of the mountains in the Patagonias

second one is Ushuaia, Argentina.. its known as "The End of the Earth"..

third is from El Calafate, Argentina.. a bit north of Ushuaia...

[Citizen Rules]

Wow! I had no idea Argentina looked like that, stunning!...You should visit there MG. If I can travel on a serious tight budget, anyone can. We only live once and the memories of a vacation are worth more that gold, at least to me. I always feel like I lived a life time just in a week or two that I'm gone to somewhere exotic.

They have an "end of the earth" tour that is $5,999 US.. I converted it to Argentine Pesos and its like $54,000 AR...

Everyone always talks about how bad Argentina is... like crime and such.. but there very many beautiful places...

The Botanical Garden in Bueno Aires....

hey have an "end of the earth" tour that is $5,999 US.. Wow, that's a lot of money, at least to me. How many days is the End of the Earth tour? Have you looked into putting together your own vacation itinerary?

Everyone always talks about how bad Argentina is... like crime and such.. but there very many beautiful places...Honestly I've never heard that before, I've heard the opposite that it's a travel friendly place and Buenos Aries is one of the cleanliest and beautiful cities in South America. I love to visit myself.

2 weeks sound great, I like longer vacations. Do you have plans to do it?

Great photos :)
Tongo, that vid of the mother rabbit is amazing. She wasn't content with just seeing it leave, she needed it gone completely. The instinct of animals to protect their young is amazing.

Yeah she was just pounding on it as fast as she could, which I think the rapid concussive force just made the snake go "the hell with this".

I love the snail orgy pic.
