April 28, 2009: The Beauty & The Beast

This picture came from Flickr but I've lost the damn link.
There wasn't much information and I didn't see any names or places.
There wes another not-ready-for-prime-time picture of the water spout that makes me believe it's not Photoshopped.

No matter, the picture stands on it's own.

Toad's note: the image has been removed at the photographer's request as a copyright violation.

That looks more like a water spout than a tornado...and it looks a lot like Coolangatta.

Where ever it is and whatever, it's a great shot.

eta: I should read all the info before I start typing I guess. I see it was identified as a waterspout anyway.

The photographer had either:

1). Huge balls
or
2). Great zoom

At any rate it's a great shot. Chance of a lifetime.

Are we infringing on future profits they would make off this picture? If it's private, should it not be hanging out there on the internet for anyone to see, thus making it impossible for viewing by the general public?

I think we should all "unsee" it. It is obviously a picture that the general masses cannot be exposed to. LOOK AWAY. LOOK AWAY.

That's a shame. His flickr page was dormant for months until this iotd revived it. Fewer people will see his work now. His loss. Ours too.

Maybe it wasn't really his pic to begin with...

Thanks for the link tsibley. By the time I got here it had been taken off the first post.

Excellent, thanks tsibley and welcome to the Cellar. Once again a reader comes through.

I didn't actually see the picture on Flickr, I saw it on another site (that I lost the link to ), that said it came from Flickr. On tsibley's Flickr link the name of the photographer is pinoyphotog, which makes me believe it's probably the Philippines or S.E. Asia. That would fit the architecture too.

Not really your bad. It's the photographer's loss.

Guess he/she has no idea how much exposure he/she is losing. His/Her loss IMO.
