Yes
Natural or man-made?

And did your photo do it justice?

For me, it's difficult to choose between the following:

Victoria Falls

The Grand Canyon

The Pyramids

And none of my photos really replicated the 'Gulp' moment as I first saw them.

So what are your 'must see before we die things?'
 
The birth of my daughter - I cried for ages :thumbs:
 
beat me too it! birth of my daughters... is the most amazing thing i have seen. I beleive that sets a special bond especially if you get to cut the cord...

one other thing i thought that ranks up there is the red arrows! kind of daft but the skill is amazing!

Well, it was this video I saw in Amsterdam. There were two women, right, and one of them managed to get an entire ...
 
When I exited a tunnel in Switzerland and in front of me lay a beautiful expanse of flat land, surrounded at the edges by snow capped mountains. No photos of that I'm afraid but the feeling of going from the darkness of a long tunnel to be presented with that was simply indescribable.
 
This is my daughter at 5 minutes old, I only had my iPhone with me and considering how crap the camera on it is, I think I caught the moment ok.

A J-DAM 2,000lb bomb hitting a suspected Taliban bunker complex - Hollywood really doesn't do justice to aerial bombs...the debris went up so high we hurt our necks watching it go up...and then ran and hid as bits of rubble the size of VW Beetles fell down upon us...lol
 
F1 car screaming past me at Sivlerstone :love: Still get goosebumps now lol.

Also when Button won his first Grand Prix on TV. I still get goosebumps from that two :lol:
 
Man made..... Stone henge. How the hell did they move those 100+ miles with no cranes and stuff.

Natural.... Yes has to be the birth of my daughter.

Thinking about it both are man made......lol

I would love to see that big bridge in France...wow.
 
When I first moved down here to Bivington about 5 years ago I was stunned by the tanks. I was stood waiting to cross as a Chally 2 drove past, the sound is like nothing you could imagine. You don't so much hear it as much as you feel it. Now they're just bloody annoying though :lol:
 
Barry Sheene passing Randy Mamola on the outside, coming out of coppice at Donnington. On the back wheel whilst giving Randy the two finger salute :woot::woot::woot:
 
Yup, birth of my kids without a doubt. No photos - even if I had a camera with me I wouldn't have been able to use the ruddy thing anyway.

Damn you! was just about to say the mirror :D

Umm, for me..... it's a little sad, but Lightning never fails to absolutely fascinate me. It's not exactly something unheard of, but I think it's absolutely amazing.

Another one for me was watching Concorde take off from Farnborough years ago at the airshow.
We were like, 300 yards away from the runway, and she was burning full afterburner!

Still hurts my head even now just thinking about it :eek:

Yes. I remember being at Twickenham for an England Scotland match when Concorde flew over.

I reckon everyone stopped watching the rugby for 10 seconds.
