- Hobbes24, on 02/22/2008, -0/+37i wonder how long till it gets turned into an inspirational poster...
- JPhilipson, on 02/22/2008, -0/+25Hey guys, Glad you like my photo :-) I read through some of the comments, thanks for being kind. I never really considered this a 'master piece' but people like what they like right?
If you would like to see more of my photos I invite you to check out my website:

- MikeonTV, on 02/22/2008, -11/+33Thats a picture of Hawaii; taken 27,767,765 BC
- deathweaver108, on 02/22/2008, -3/+23Life will go on. But will we go on with it?
- geneticlemon, on 02/22/2008, -2/+21Lava fields aren't exactly "barren." There's life teeming in these areas ... in fact, in the wake of old, dead lava tunnels, entire rain forests are capable of existing, since the old lava tunnels provide a natural irrigation system. Not to mention the amount of minerals the molten rock provides once cooled.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -3/+22Nature has a way of fighting its way through the toughest situations!
- brianbb98, on 02/22/2008, -6/+20LIE. The earth is only 6000 years old!
- kidendless, on 02/22/2008, -1/+14that is the worst god damn ascii i've ever seen. i think i would have even preferred 8===D~
- brianbb98, on 02/22/2008, -0/+10i bet you woulda... ;)
- trenchfever, on 02/22/2008, -1/+10O coconut.. how I miss thee..
(I'm originally from Kerala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala "the land of coconuts")
Anyways.. coconut palm don't thrive well in places where the temperature can reach single digits centigrade. So most of the US is off limits to the coconut palm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut#Growing_in_th ...
If you've never had tender coconut water and pulp, you are a lost soul. Its one of the most refreshing pleasures of life. - inactive, on 02/22/2008, -2/+11I, for one, welcome our new palm tree overlords.
- revjustin2, on 02/22/2008, -0/+8"Kerala [is] among the Third World's longest-lived, healthiest, most gender-equitable, and most literate regions".
Refreshment = enlightenment? Maybe so. - IllBeBack, on 02/22/2008, -0/+7Yeah, everything should be specified using the Star Trek "Star Date" instead of using the Gregorian calendar.
I am super serial. - pbaehr, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6What's amazing to me is that beyond all odds, in the harshest conditions, a plant like that manages to thrive, but if I tried to bring it into my living room it would die within minutes.
I have a black thumb. - brianbb98, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6or a "you suck at photoshop" vid.
- noahhoward, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6Question... how'd a coconut got out onto a lava flow? Don't give me any of that Swallow malarky either.
- kepsux, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6Does it really matter?
- skabyss, on 02/22/2008, -0/+6Wow man, wow. Epic ***** failure.
- EmailAddress, on 02/22/2008, -2/+8whatever I see on reddit, later comes here.
- thcobbs, on 02/22/2008, -1/+6I think the over-quoted phrase you are looking for is:
< hand gestures > "Life will find..... a way" < /hand gestures > - GhostyBoy, on 02/22/2008, -0/+5Holy hell what a stupid comment! If you missed the joke you could just point out that photography didn't - - - oh ***** man nevermind, you are on your own.
- instantrobotwar, on 02/22/2008, -0/+4How long for a demotivational poster?
- mal1964, on 02/22/2008, -0/+4Now all we need is some almonds and dark chocolate
- JPhilipson, on 02/22/2008, -0/+4Glad you like :-)
- wonboodoo, on 02/22/2008, -1/+5How did the coconut get there?
- NYNewYorker, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3Yeup. Reddit = Digg. Same ***** on both websites these days.
- OneHandBandito, on 02/22/2008, -1/+4I'd love to see nature fight its way through a comet four times the size of Earth. Ka-plow.
- robopuppy, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3Yes. Except that I'd say my job was more like a parasitic leech sucking the life out of me, rather than me (the coconut) sucking the life out of.. nothing... argh... why am I still here
- GhostyBoy, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3Buzzkiller!
- ChicagoDS, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3life will go on till the tide rolls in.
- iucraigmc, on 02/22/2008, -1/+4Is it sad that I can relate to this photo? Maybe it's time to consider a career change...
- ep53, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3Its so annoying, I end up changing my Wallpaper everyday.....Curse you Digg!!! **Waves Fists of ANGER**
- DNABeast, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3This is ridiculous. Volcanic soil is the most fertile on earth. This is like saying, 'OMG Look, a human child developing INSIDE A HUMAN BODY!!!'.
- 0crabby0, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Tell that to the ones in my backyard - I've lost two palm trees in the last three years.
- coit, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Man, I'd love to have an HDR version of that to capture the clouds in the sky a bit better.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2WTF IS THAT?
Scared me.... - JPhilipson, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2*****
- apextek, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2i know the feeling:

- JPhilipson, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Sure... Paypal me like 3 bucks and I'll have it printed at your local walmart :-)
- cerealjynx, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Cool, this one goes on the desktops for the computers at work. I find it oddly relevant ;P
- FasterGun, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2859/demotivati ...
- chrisgnv, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2.... *whoosh*
- em00guy, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Volcanic soil is actually very fertile. Especially tropical volcanic soil.
- inactive, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Life needs to be eradicated at all costs! (I always take a contrary position in forums)
- hobbitsareneat, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Reminds me of Fern Gully or something.
- INFINITYPRO, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2JPHILIPSON is a kind soul, it doesn't surprise me that he's capable of capturing a moment such as this! :)
