I am absolutely addicted to Stumbleupon.com If you don't know what it is, you should definitely check it out. I had a few minutes, so here are a few of the things I stumbled on today:
This is a really cool site if you like to browse photos. You enter in a tag (or subject) that you'd like to see photos of and then it will bring up a list of related tags and so on and so on. You can narrow it as much as you'd like. Once you have what you want, you can browse thousands of photos. The layout is really cool. It's like you're looking at a computerized galaxy with planets and moons and such. Really neat. You have to see it for yourself to get the whole idea.

I thought these were pretty neat. These are both examples of what you can do by adjusting the shutter speed on your camera.
This is an absolutely heartbreaking photo. The photographer is amazing and has documented a lot things that are very hard to look at but should be seen. You can see his work here.
It's amazing what photographers can do with color. I just thought this was gorgeous. It's titled "Candyfloss Lake" and it's by Mark Bond. Click here for his site.
This has got to be one of the most amazing photographs I've ever seen! This was taken during a lightning storm while a volcano was erupting.
Quote from National Geographic:
The mingling of lightning and ash seen above may be a "dirty thunderstorm."You can read the entire story on National Geographic Online here.
The little-understood storms may be sparked when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in the plume collide to produce static charges—just as ice particles collide to create charge in regular thunderstorms.
This photographer just takes some spectacular shots. I love what she does. Check out her site.
Here's one of my favorites: "The Violet Way of Life V.2
I love older Japanese culture and this site has some beautiful photos from different time periods in Japan's history. The website has lots of beautiful photos and a ton of information. Here are a couple of examples:
A beautiful romantic view on Amidabashi (Amida Bridge) over Nagasaki’s Zeniyagawa (Zeniya River, nowadays called Nakashimagawa), photographed between 1883 and 1897. In front of Amidabashi is a well. Buckets are seen, but no people. Possibly because of the long exposure time used by the photographer. The bridge in the back is Koraibashi. Rocks and boulders strewn all over the river bed create an image of wild untamed nature, right in the middle of the city of Nagasaki.
View on the San-mon main gate and a stone bridge at Chionin buddhist temple in the Higashiyama district in Kyoto, Japan.
A young woman in kimono and traditional Japanese hairstyle looks at a white rose she holds. This postcard was published sometime between 1907 and 1918. During the early 20th century, picture postcards of bijin (beautiful women) were extremely popular in Japan.
These are absolutely stunning photos. All the info below is from here.
From the website: "High Dynamic Range-technique (HDR) can create incredibly beautiful pictures which blur our sense of the difference between reality and illusion. In graphics HDR imaging is a set of techniques that allow a far greater dynamic range of exposures than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to the deepest shadows. This is usually achieved by modifying photos with image processing software for tone-mapping. And the results can be really incredible; in fact, many artists and designers come up with some pretty fancy results."
