wow awsome photo, got in my email today. thoght i would share

Breanne,

EVER SEE AN ICEBERG FROM TOP TO BOTTOM?
This is awesome! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in
St. Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these
things away from the rig by towing them with ships! In this particular case
the water was calm, &the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver
was able to get into the water and click this PIC. Clear water huh? They
estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we know why they say one
picture is worth 1000 words...

It is beautiful, but, it doesn't look like an actual photograph at all to me. It looks like a painting, it's for sure a photograph? Crazy.

What makes me wonder is just because in order to get all the iceberg, he'd have to be really far away, and, it's just odd that nothing else is between him and the berg. I don't know, it just looks too perfect or something...not so much the colors, though...either way, it's pretty!

that picture is a hoax.

It's a picture of a glass of water in the Thursday Thread.

I was kidding.....

when you look at a photo and are trying to see if it is doctored, you have to look at a bunch of things.

Can the water be that clear?
You can see a few hundred feet in good water.
how large is it and how far would you have to be to see the whole thing?
Look at the shadows!
Ice does refract sunlight, but the shadows look to even around the whole berg. The shadows to the right make it look like the sun is to the side, not directly on top.

Even it it is a Photoshop creation, it makes you think about the size of a real berg!!!
