Awesome Nature Pics

One of the beaches at a place called Nambucca, not far from where I am right now. So beautiful. If you were down there (I took the photo from a lookout above it) you'd have a private beach.

I'm pretty sure thats a Friesian. An all black warmblood horse, originated in Friesland province Netherlands. Knights used them as chargers in tournaments and wars. A great horse, very powerful, but of good temperment.

Thanks for the info Mike, even it's name is beautiful

Looks beautiful! :smt049 Australian beaches are almost mystical to me. None like them anywhere.
(hope you still get to stay in this vicinity with the move).

Wow!!! The NG photos are always sooooo amazing. Something to really look up to.

I went to the Butterfly House today, with a friend, and here is one of the photos I took. The wings are tatty because, apparently, butterflies fight a lot when in captivity.
