The Best Horse Pics

Oh yes, I love groups with pictures in them and I love looking at horses. Well over a thousand images in the gallery. From medieval jousting scenes to Arabs in the desert to stately Frisians and mares and foals. There isn't much happening on the discussion board, but you can share your views on 'What breed or breeds are in your barn?', 'Who is the better racehorse?' and 'Who's your fav celebrity horse? There are links to over 50 video clips and also other internet resources.

What's great about this group: celebrate the beauty of horses.

BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS

What the group name does NOT tell you is that all 29 of the unusual buildings featured in its gallery, are situated in Nigeria. Quite a surprise, to see such adventurous exploration of structures on the continent of Africa. Visit the group and see a totally different facade of this third world country.

What's great about this group: It showcases architectural triumphs of Nigeria.

Mystery Photo Game

The game is very simply. Every day an extreme close-up of an image is posted. Members are invited to guess what it is and on the next day, the answer is supplied. Challenge yourself and see whether you can guess what the featured close-up really is.

What's great about this group: A daily visual brain-teaser.

Flowers

Yeah, its spring in time in the northern hemisphere, and although I'm shivering south of the equator, I can always look at pictures and pretend. There are over 700 images of flowers - a true feast of colors - in the gallery. You will also find plenty of links to other flower-related resources on the internet.

What's great about this group: celebrate the budding of new life.

Update (28 October 2023)

There is a Facebook group called Flowers, which can be found here. I'm not sure if it's the same one. 

Food Fusion

This group - another small one as far as membership goes - will provide inspiration to anyone who wants to get away from the idea that food preparation is boring. The idea is to get creative and mix up cuisine styles from different ethnic origins. Threads on the discussion board include 'Two ways to Make Pork Milanese: Asian meets European', 'Recipes from the Yahoo! Fusion Cooking Club', 'Middle East meets West', 'Quick 10 minute Seafood Stir Fry', 'Easy Vegetarian Dish' and 'Hawaiian Asian Grill Feast', to name but a few. Also check out the gallery for all the yummy pictures.

What's great about this group: it's enough to whet anyone's appetite.

Update (28 October 2023)

There is still a Facebook group called Food Fusion, but since it was only created in 2017, it is unlikely to be the Facebook group featured here. 

Abnormal Cars

This group has more photographs than members. It speaks virtually no English and there are no discussions, but if unusual muscle cars are your thing, you'll get a rush looking at all the unusual specimens in the gallery. Enjoy.

What's great about this group: enjoy the pictures.

Singularity

Will the self-sufficiency of artificial intelligences spell the salvation or damnation of mankind? Members of this group - and it is a fairly small group - discuss the possibilities raised by Ray Kurzweil's book 'The Singularity is Near. Threads on the discussion board include 'Foundations of the Singularity', 'Corporations chasing profits could slow the singularity.', 'Scanning/storing brains', 'Free = Singularity?' and '3D Internet a reflection of real Universe'. Check it out, if you can't resist thought experiments.

What's great about this group: share theories about the future dominance of machines.

Update (29 October 2023)

There is a private Facebook group, Singularity Network, which has 26,300 members. It was founded in October 2010, which means it's not the group profiled in this post. You can request access here.
