    They just dumped them in the ocean?

    That lighter pic is incredible though, the detail is great to look at.

    I saw a documentary on those subway cars ages ago. They basically strip the cars of everything useful/harmful and drop the things into the ocean outside NY building up some sort of a wall from them. It somehow helps to protect from the waves a little bit and is also used as a scuba diving spot.

    Here is the photographer's website with more of those

    This photo was taken by my wife of some lads fishing on the Amazon river at Sunset in a place called Santarem.

    Wow that's one wide river. I thought that was a lake at first.

    Dude, at one point up river - about 1,000km inland it's so wide you cannot see the other side. It's absolutely incredible, deep too - over 150m in places.

    I love the reflection on the water, everything seems so calm and other-worldly.

    The Aurora looks spectacular no matter what, but that is still a truly stunning photograph.

    I'd love to go there and experience it for myself.

    The colour photos of Russia from a century ago are amazing.

    Communism - you remember, the system that doesn't work, keeps people poor and encourages corruption.

    A hundred years ago in Russia there were Imperial times, not Communism.
