Calm down bear, they are photos. its a photo thread. Perhaps you cant identify natural beauty.

And true to your ego, or ignorance, you posted it twice. Not sufficient was it to post links you also had to start a new thread. I'm sure Ireland changed after you left. For the better obviously.

It looks that way alright bear.

And if I claim ignorance, and bow down to your superior intellect, and authority on such matters of where, when and how to post, will that make it better? And will it make you feel better? At least for a few hours anyway. Or maybe just grow up and stop acting like a proletariat dictator.

Oh dear. And tell me this Paul. How many of these so called 'Proletariat dictators' have you encountered. Maybe your last reading was O'Casey's Plough and the Stars. Wasn't there a character in that who also came out with comments he didn't quite understand.

Oh, but I do. I suspect its you that didn't understand the reference.

"the lowest or poorest class of people, possessing no property, esp. in ancient Rome. "

A thread, on an internet forum. do i need to be any clearer? Replace people/property appropriately etc.

Here's some pics of the newly discovered mammoth caves in Vietnam. Stunning!!!

A giant cave column swagged in flowstone towers over explorers swimming through the depths of Hang Ken, one of 20 new caves discovered last year in Vietnam.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/Ak4PaFfMaoINepdukEWjlA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MTY7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/8_040310.jpeg

A climber ascends a shaft of light in Loong Con, where humidity rises into cool air and forms clouds inside the cave.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/nhN3Q6Pzr4S7lE3QUUt3Fg--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00Njc7dz0zMTU-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/7_040257.jpeg

A half-mile block of 40-story buildings could fit inside this lit stretch of Hang Son Doong, which may be the world's biggest subterranean passage.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/x_x615lKFjUT5r5y1LxxyA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MTI7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/6_040245.jpeg

- continued....

A jungle inside a cave? A roof collapse long ago in Hang Son Doong let in light; plants thickly followed. As "Sweeny" Sewell climbs to the surface, hikers struggle through the wryly named Garden of Edam.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/FWtD03Uhpm3ixfvEuNcu3A--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MDU7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/5_040231.jpeg

Going underground, expedition members enter Hang En, a cave tunneled out by the Rao Thuong River. Dwindling to a series of ponds during the dry months, the river can rise almost 300 feet during the flood season, covering the rocks where cavers stand.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/pfS5i0qDDJVVCpO9wNj.ng--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MTI7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/4_040217.jpeg

Like a petrified waterfall, a cascade of fluted limestone, greened by algae, stops awestruck cavers in their tracks. They're near the exit of Hang En.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/XghsAclomaQE03qVenyIQw--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MTE7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/3_040205.jpeg

06/01/2011, 9:46 PM

continued...

In the dry season, from November to April, a caver can safely explore Hang Ken, with its shallow pools. Come the monsoon, the underground river swells and floods the passages, making the cave impassable.

http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/mAnATjt9Oczea3mH0vHbPg--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9aW5zZXQ7aD00MDg7dz02MzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/156/2011/01/04/2_040149.jpeg

The trickiest challenge for the expedition team was to find a way over the Great Wall of Vietnam, an overhanging mass of flowstone that blocked the way deep inside Hang Son Doong. Climbing specialists "Sweeny" Sewell and Howard Clarke here work on anchoring bolts to the slippery, porous rock to support the weight of climbers using ropes. Once over the wall, the expedition team discovered a second entrance into the cave.

Bregagh Road near the village of Armoy, Co. Antrim. Known locally as "The Dark Hedges".

Spooky place. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago.

i was bought an Ireland calendar over Christmas that has an almost identical picture called "The Dark Hedges near Ballymoney" - its taken during a sunny day though. This one is better if you ask me.
