The Delta formation of Alluvial Fan, Alaska looks fantastic. I wonder from what height that pic has been taken. Anyway, it is awesome :)

Nice wallpapers, but really.. National Geographic is better on TV.

viola, the horse is hobbled. That's basically handcuffs to keep the horse from running away; pretty standard practice. I don't think it's preventing the horse from getting up.

The caption seems to indicate this is a pretty normal state of affairs for the horse.

Very, very nice images. I loved every single one of them.

Simply Enchanting

Love the photos, but one of the photos bothers me. The horse on his back seems to be in trouble. It looks like something yellow is tied around his front legs keeping him from moving. Hope i'm wrong. What do you think...

I love these lists... I always end up with a new desktop background image. Penguins rule!

It says:

> 1280 x 1024 pixels—best for larger/widescreen monitors

Must be some kind of twisted practical joke or something...

Sorry, it is not 30 but 300 miles around Chicago. It will make the Mississipp River 35 miles wide and divide the U.S.A into two parts. It is believed to be triggered by our insisting that Jerusalem be divided, God will divide us. When the houses were razed in Gaza that Pres. Bush was part of, houses were razed in New Orleans a week later..

I like no. 40 - Chicago Lights. The reason is it shows how large the area is and there are prophecies of a psunami from earthquake through Lake Michigan that will destroy 30 miles around the Lake. I believe it.

Great photo's but very low resolution... Next time try 1920x1080 to 2560x1600
