h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Youtube is great, but there are some amazing stills out there and maybe they should be represented too. I thought this could be a good excuse too for hootooers to showcase their own efforts, should they be so motivated.

For now, I'll kick off with a picture of some lovely tiny flowers.

Where possible, could folk give an idea what the pics about? As with the YouTube thread, there is a problem of people not giving descriptions so you don't know if the item is hootworthy.

Great stuff, thanks for getting this thread going guys.

Nog and I went to Barcelona last January (it was my 50th birthday present ) and while I loved the whole city this house designed by Gaudí just took my breath away.

Beats the heck out of a concrete jungle (and they make good PC desktop images)

This thread has been here two days, and not one post yikesd for links to inappropriate content?! I'm gobsmacked!

Az, that building is amazing. The whole thing looks like it's...melting or something!

Did you take that photo, blicky?

I love the bird feeder and have previously enjoyed Woodpigeon's photos over on his blog. Going to have a better look at the rest now.

The man in that pic looks like he's about to do a moonie.

Damn...I thought I was the only one who noticed that!! He didn't tho!

Hmm, now why has the word "schadenfreude" just popped into my head?
