Some cool pics from the Paris-Dakar rally

If you are short of a wallpaper, here are a few. Some excellent photography amongst them

Note the chopper in the top RHS corner when you open it up

I was cogitating posting this last night, but shied away from the poo-storm which will no doubt follow.

Love that second image, not so sure on the first. It looks spectacular but then you realise, unless it is about to go very wrong for that other helicopter, that the image needs to be rotated 45 degrees anti-clockwise. Do that and it doesn't look nearly as good.

Oh, and Senegal isn't in South America, so I'm not sure how the lily-livered organisers can still call it the Dakar rally. Although they did at least drop the Paris bit, unlike you, Linf.

Linf beat me to it by 15 mins. I'll delete the other thread.
