Paula, do you ever leave your house or your computer? Mommy's basement must be very comfortable.

10 is closer than you think Alberta National Parks

Chive On from Canada

Dirty Dingus

It's actually Banff National Park, in the province of Alberta. Specifically, that is Moraine Lake and the Valley of the 10 Peaks.

Shant1k

Very specific indeed

3-4 couloir is that strip of snow that looks like it would be fun to ski, which it is.

Looks like a geyser in an area where the water has a heavy mineral content, thus creating the mini volcano structure.

After a bit more googling, found it. Fly Geyser, look it up. That's a great pic of it

xXbeermonkeyXx

thanks, you are awesome! got it, Fly Ranch Geyser, Nevada, USA
cheers, beers

Perfect for that first dose of surreality on the way to Burning Man

#5 amazing

#12 i agree on the wtfness of this
Wade Wilson

#2 Has to be a composite…horizon's don't match up, looks weirdly surreal…

Wally

Check out National Geographic: I've seen this photo before and even used it as a desktop. I think it's some National Park in Namibia. What you see is a giant sand dune encroaching on trees in a savannah-like area.
_Moose_

Sossusvlei, Namibia. It's pretty incredible.

Tim

Hmm, I agree with wade. While there are giant sand dunes that are extraordinary, this one is shown with another image in the foreground. Look at the glaring difference in lighting between the background and the foreground. Also the fog shows distant trees between the viewer and the dune, suggesting that the bushes on the side of the dune are the size of a bungalow.

Jen

shut up, nerds.

The Chive – THE place for overly sensitive little girly men.

#1 #6 Awesome.
LineHog

#1 Schloss Neuschwanstein , should be on every bucket list, personally been there and mind blowing it is.

Lach

Went when i was little, finally goin back next week. Shall submit a gallery?

Wally

Sure: are photos inside allowed? That would be awesome!

LineHog

No photos inside, but I bought a CD at the castle gift shop of interior and exterior pictures that are great.

Joe

I went a few years ago, amazing castle. It's too bad it was never finished though.
DutchChiveFan

Isn't that the castle of ludwig the mad from bavaria?

LineHog

Yep, there is a model inside of the next castle he was planning to build that dwarfs this one.

Negrodamas

Indeed. I visited during the fall. Absolutely gorgeous with the leaves turning. I'd like to see it during the winter, though.

#17 Venice, Italy. I was there a month ago. Really nice place.

Randy

looks like CGI

Anon

That pic was actually created by MS Paint. Hard to believe, but there were a couple like this created in MS Paint a few years ago.

KUI

Often stinks like a sewer, and it's not much of a city. The old part, anyway, nobody lives there. You don't see people going to work, children playing, dogs, nothing. It's a big-ass tourist park. It's beautiful, but has absolutely no personality.
Firenze kicks its ass.

fake as fuck

Isn't it the "Venice" in Las Vegas?

#9, Farrand Field at the University of Colorado….brings back a lot of memories. Remember kids stay in college as long as you can, it truly is a vacation from real life.

Ken Saldi

Grew up outside of Boulder and went to the University of Colorado, nut I truly love those Flatirons in the background.

tay diggz

Not Ferrand Field its actually outside of the Law building and new communications Building bus still gorgeous, so happy to be living there.

tay diggz

Woops meant the Leeds building not Law XD

Wally

I agree totally!@

NebraskaGuy

#2 Good lord, that is a LOT of fucking sand!

http://sno0bs.wordpress.com snoobs89

very acute observation there.

NebraskaGuy

Thank ya, snoobs89! Very acute observation of my acute observation!
It's one thing to see aerial pictures of sand dunes, but when you see one like this, with foreground objects that give you a better impression of the sheer scale and size of these dunes, it changes your whole perspective. Damned thing's HUGE! (that's what SHE said!) hehe

#12 is a hot spring/geyser in about 150 miles north of Reno, Nevada. Sometime back in the 1950s a rancher was putting in a fence when he struck a hot spring. It's been bubbling ever since and piling up mineral deposits.

thisgoesonandon

hmmm…putting in a fence and struck a hotspring? Im more inclined to believe Wikipedia…lol.
" The Geyser is not an entirely natural phenomenon, and was accidentally created in 1916 during the drilling of a well. The well functioned normally for several decades, but then in the 1960s geothermally heated water found a weak spot in the wall and began escaping to the surface. Dissolved minerals started rising and piling up, creating the mount on which the geyser sits, which is still growing to date. "
Science. Did someone say Science???

#4 Doesn't get more remote than that.. Looks awesome

Negrodamas

The rocks and trees remind me of western Australia, but that's a wild guess.
Aidman

It's at Uluru, aka 'Ayers rock' in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Dave O' G

Anyone else notice that no 17 is a painting???

equalizermax
