Beautiful things I've seen

Dolphins, swimming vertically around the periscope as I brought submarine to the surface.

A swift against a mackerel sky this morning.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Gazing down at a tousled, sleepy and grateful Heidi Klumm after a night of endless passion...

[missd]

sunrises, sunsets, looking out at oceans, or national parks - all the various vistas from our campervan on mine and mrd's trip round oz.

seeing my sister there waiting for me, as i came through the arrivals gate, every single time i flew home, after long periods of time spent overseas.

me and mr d sitting in our car (on a drive up through the kruger really early one morning) having a sandwich breakfast while zebras, giraffes and impala surrounded us, all having theirs too, munching on leaves and little zebras playing, chasing each other. we were all there for around half an hour or so, in the early morning light and it was so peaceful and beutiful - was amazing.

this is a very nice thread marmora man. it's put me in a really nice mood, thinking of some beautiful memories. thanks!!

That paper bag in the wind in the film "American Beauty"

A seal swimming just off shore in a Scottish Loch whilst we were enjoying a tranquil evening stroll

Mr Marmora Man darling, you sound like an ED version of Daniel Craig! Do you mind if I sit on your knee while you tell us more?

[Cassius]

Scuba diving through a kelp forest.

Sunrise over the Dead Sea.

Sunset over a lake in Mexico.

Seeing my current partners face light up when we re-met after 18 years apart and it was like we'd never been parted.

Victoria Falls.

[bon3yard]

Jonathan Woodgates extra time winner as it trundled over the line against Chelski in the league cup final.

[Jah Lush]

Oh yes. I'll go along with that Bon3yard. I was there too.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Johny Wilkinsons last second kick to take the Rugby World Cup from the Aussies, in Australia.

and

John Howard's face as he had to hand the Rugby World Cup over to the English - priceless!

[citizenED]

Snorkelling for the first time off the coast of Xlendi, on Gozo. First and only time though.

[lozzyloz]

Gods Window in Mpumulanga (or in my case a damn fine view).

A Leopardess leading her cubs to a fresh kill in Sabi Sabi.

An 8m Southern Right Whale calf in Walkers Bay, diving under your boat and then popping up the other side to have a curious look at you.

Looking straight up a 40' vertical wall of lush coloured coral as the sun light filters through clear blue water in the Great Barrier Reef.

The view from the 1,250th step above Tiger Cave in Krabi.

The innocent face of a sleeping child.

Moscow at night after a fresh fall of virgin snow (different story in the morning).

Beautiful as ever! Tastes pretty good too!

Can I add a beautiful thing I've heard: the sound of glug-glug when you pour the first glass from a bottle of wine.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Absolutely - the best sound in the world.

Regret I now have less hair and more belly than Daniel Craig - and thus may be a disappointment to a nubile young wench like yourself DM. Were we to meet tho' I could tell salty sea stories to while away the hours.

[dulwichmum]

OHMYGOD (Swoon)!!!

I'll get my coat...

[CamberwellOz]

Sailing down the coast of Turkey, watching the sunrise, still drinking from the night before with 13 complete strangers.

Sitting on a large rock after ice climbing on the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix eating bread and cheese. Turning round and smiling at Mr CamberwellOz and secretly thinking.... I never thought I'd be fit enough to do this.

Watching a little boy in Dubrovnik walk his cat down to the local pier and fish for it's dinner.

My mum and dad's smiling faces every time I get off the plane in Australia. It doesn't matter how many times I do it - they always clean the car, spring clean the house and buy me magazines and Australian treats to read/eat in the middle of the night whilst I get over my jet lag.

[LizzygotDizzy]

Wow, getting the most beautiful heart warming images from your posts, its surprising the lives and things many people experience and their neighbours know nothing about, thanks for sharing everyone, lovely thread.

The look you recieve from an interested party when you've been checking them out for the last 5 mins....positively life affirming...and still catches me by surprise.
