Fireworks show over a port during the day one of the Ama Matsuri festival on July 16, 2016 in Minamiboso, Japan. During the Shirahama Ama Matsuri, or Shirahama Female Diver Festival, people participate in a parade of portable shrines, the dance of dragon gods, and the all-female, night-time diving. More than 50 people participated in the highlight of the festival, the night-time diving where the female divers swim with all-white clothing and torches to reenact the rescue operation of a ship-wreck from long ago. The festival sends prayers for gifts from the sea, hopes for peace, and pays respects to all those who have died in the ocean. (Photo by Takashi Aoyama/Getty Images)

The "Falcon 9 Space rocket " looks like the Mothership's blaster from "Independence Day" after it destroyed the "White House.

beautiful photos. I liked the rocket Falcon

All photos have their own meaning and symbolism. That is why each of them I like on special.

Flying fish

These fish are doing a remarkable impression on me. In general, the combination of nature with modern interiors create very interesting effects. The only pity is that for these effects animals have to live in captivity ...

Love zip lining ! Amazing picture!
