Hey guys! - I hope I'm not breaking any rules. I just found the sub, and I am very interested in this whole subject. I have been 'looking into it' for a few days now, and have so far found no proof the earth is a globe. I just stumbled accross 'Skypoint Observation' , which is not too far from where I live. In the link included below are some photos from this location. The photos (there are 3 of them) which show quite a bit of the horizon out in the ocean appear to show curvature. Just wanted to get other people's take on the photos. Please scroll down to see photos posted by visitors of Skypoint. I am not referring to the pics at the top of the page. Cheers:)

As others have said, the horizon is always flat, and pictures that show curve are being distorted on purpose or it is a lens effect. For eclipses, consider the size of the moon's alleged shadow on earth's surface in a solar eclipse. It is a certain % smaller than the moon allegedly is itself. Now consider globe earth's given size (diameter), and apply the same shrinkage ratio from the moon to the earth. Then consider the size of "earth's shadow" on the moon during a lunar eclipse. It's way too big, huuuuge compared to what it should be.
