the tilt-shifting desert sand dunes of nambia – aerial shot – amazing!

23.01.12 the tilt shifting desert sand dunes of nambia   aerial shot   amazing!

this is another from the stable of amazing shots from photo a day.

if you haven’t already learned this one, anytime that you see the word amazing in the title of the post, it means that the photo is complete bullshit.

this pic was taken at the beach.

what i do love about it though, is that when you take the time to look at the tiny little things in nature, you see the same patterns as you would on a grand or aerial scale, so in that sense, this really could be quite similar to what you would see if you took a helicopter flight over the sand dunes of namibia in africa.

oh how dearly i would love to do that. i hope i didn’t dissapoint anyone too much.

in light of my misleading you, i would like to present to you two, yes two tunes that are genuinely fom namibia. enjoy:

this next one is like if you crossed karaoke, the wiggles and namibians. (sorry, but that’s my honest call):

if anyone finds someting better, could you please comment and post the link? i will publish it.

hugh jackman can ride anything meme – a jumbo jet this time

17.12.10 hugh jackman can ride anything meme – a jumbo jet this time

ok i just had to get involved in the hugh jackman can ride anything meme.

the other day when oprah winfrey was in town filming her show at the opera house, hugh jackman was making his spectactuar entrance on a flying fox and he stuffed it up a bit. so the clever bunnies over at the blog cityrag, decided to have a bit of fun with it and thus, the hugh jackman can ride anything meme was born.

i decided to instead of getting him to straddle something, he can just set on the wing of a commercial jetliner.

as far as the eye injury goes, bugger that. it seems lucky that he didn’t end up with something worse – like something spinal judging by the the force of him getting thrown about like a rag doll.

in light of it turning out ok, hugh’s got to love this, it turns something a bit crappy into a lot of fun – helps boost his exposure as well, in a good way i am sure. i bet his osteopath and/or physiotherapist will get a few extra cheques in the mail as a result too.

nice to see him knocking back a glass of red as soon as they got him back to terra firma.

go hugh! you’re a trooper mate. angela bishop, sweetie, pet, darling, love – you do have a great job, but sorry, you really are a bogan.

amazing, photo of the toilets in abu ghraib prison

04.07.10 amazing, photo of the toilets in abu ghraib prison

well, it might as well be.

it is a little bit more stark, and filthy than this colourful toilet.

i just want to know how can you take a crap so that skid marks appear under the toilet seat, why someone did that, and what kind of animal would do that?

how, why, and who?

seems like a lot of effort went into this….

here’s another photo from a previous visit to abu gharib

this is another photo from the amazing series of photos

amazing, just released pic of fidel castro in hospital on his deathbed.

20.06.10 amazing, just released pic of fidel castro in hospital on his deathbed.

well, kind of….

this is an awesome work by artist Shen Shaomin showing on cockatoo island as part of the 2010 sydney bienalle.

fidel is prone in hospital here, mechanics providing a rising and sinking chest as he is making his death rattles. he is positioned as a point of a pentagram, the other points are life-sized and equally freakish models of lenin, great leader chaiman mao, uncle ho, and great leader kim il-sung.

he’s in great company. very tongue in cheek, the work is called ‘summit’(2010). i like.

amazing new photographic evidence of UFOs in Australia

13.8.09 amazing new photographic evidence of UFOs in Australia

Well, it’s actually just a shot of this at night.

Just so that I don’t ruffle too many feathers with a misleading title, today i read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about a guy in the Northern Territory who has been filming strange goings on in the sky. He plans to make the Top End into a tourist attraction that beats the pants off Roswell in the US.  Good luck to him, i say..

You can check his videos out at www.UFOterritory.com.au

this is another photo from the amazing series.
