The black and white are definitely strong, but it’s the eyes that get me.
Perhaps towing a Bowlus Road Chief.

The launch scene of the Wings of Honeamise. A mid-European-like country on an alternate world decides to finance a space launch - which would be the first for their planet - simply as a ruse to spike conflict with a border country that they are enemies with, and with no belief that the scientists can actually pull it off. As the launch approaches, the enemy country attacks, to stop it.
Some amazing music and pictures here. Thanks for starting this thread, Skald!
Ben Folds - Still Fighting It A bittersweet song about a conversation between a man and his son.
Nick Cave - As I Sat Sadly By Her Side Another song about a conversation between two people. One of my favorite songs.
As OP, I say that repeat posts are fine, as long as it’s something new and beautiful each time and not bitching about other people’s choices.
I’ll post this little PSA to help you. If a link to an image gives you an error page like that, always try clicking in the URL bar for the image and pressing enter.
The reason this works is that images are often blocked if they are linked from any but the original website. However typing in the URL doesn’t send a referrer URL, and so the site doesn’t know website you came from. And most websites are set up to err on the side of allowing the image if they don’t know what website you came from, just in case the referrer URL got lost or you’ve set up your web browser not to ever send one.
That’s actually Mesa Arch in Canyonlands N.P.

I’m a godless atheist, so I don’t know what my deal is with cathedrals, but I love them.

Wow, gigi, I wonder if the quilter got dizzy working on this! (Did you make it?)
Probably not-- That sort of pattern is a lot easier than it looks. You start by sewing horizontal strips together, then cut them on the vertical, displace them, and sew them back together.
I haven’t had the nerve to try one yet!
I was thinking Lord of the Rings too.

As the rest of the German team celebrated the World Cup semi-final win against England in 1990, decided by penalties, Lother Mattheus, the German captain didn’t join in and put his arm round Chris Waddle, who had missed a penalty. I don’t normally say nice things about the Germans but that was proper class.
I don’t know what that means. Can you explain?
In a competition like the World Cup, if the two teams are still level after playing 30 minutes of extra time, the match is decided by each team taking five penalty kicks (a shot from directly in front of the goal with only the keeper to beat - a good striker would be expected to score almost every time). In the photo England have just lost the match having scored only 3 penalties. Chris Waddle took England’s fifth penalty and needed to score to stop the Germans winning - he missed and England were out of the World Cup.
As **mascaroni **says, most of the Germans were celebrating wildly reaching the final but Mattheus, the captain, took time out to comfort Chris Waddle who was in tears. A classy - and in some ways - beautiful thing to do.
