People on the Coyote at night.

The giant Coyote sculpture by Bryan Tedrick (bryantedrick.com).

View my other photos of the Coyote sculpture.

I heard that several people got injured on the Coyote (broken arms / wrists and what not). No-one died. Initially the coyote head could spin. I think many people got hit by the giant metal ears, This was the dangerous part especially if you didn't realize the head could spin. After taking several people to the hospital, they put a sign "Don't climb - Seriously", and locked the head. People kept climbing it anyway, since the sculpture was designed to be climbed. Later, the sign was changed to a more adequate "Climb at your own risks".

Tiết canh (Tiet canh) is raw blood soup - Mèo Vac, Vietnam

Blood soup (tiết canh) is made with raw blood of ducks or geese (sometimes pigs), with peanuts and herbs on top. This is the typical protein-rich breakfast of the country people in Northern Vietnam, but is very dangerous because of the H5N1 bird flu virus. The Vietnamese government is promoting public awareness about the risks, but try to explain bird flu to the country people...

This blog has more information on tiết canh.

The Man, by Larry Harvey, Rod Garrett.

In 2009, the Burning Man rises above a 'tangled bank' consisting of irregular wooden triangles. No two elements of this organic composition will be quite the same; together they'll create what's best described as a chaotic truss.

The truss is clearly inspired by the "belgian waffle" installation from 2006.

5977 - vietnam - dog meat - Stuffing the intestin to make sausages. Or should we say, "hot dogs" - Thịt chó by Loupiote

11 49

Share this photo on: facebook • twitter • more...

Before eating the dog: Stuffing the intestin to make sausages. Or should we say, "hot dogs". The stuffing is made by mixing the dog's blood and brain with some vegies and herbs. The stuffing is then placed in the stomach and puched through the entire intestin.

This photo is part of a series called Thịt chó: eating a (hot) dog that can be seen on the website dog-meat.net. A lots of interesting comments and reactions have been posted on the various photo sites where this series has been published.

WARNING: These images are graphic, not suitable for kids and people with a weak stomach!

Western culture considers that eating a dog is cruel, barbaric and disgusting (not illegal, though), but ironically we have no problem eating all other sorts of animals as long as they are not called pets.

But for the vast majority of people on earth, cultural values are very different. Dog meat is considered a delicacy in some asian cultures, and indeed cooked dog meat is very tasty and protein rich. You should try it some day! (if you are not vegetarian)

"Food dogs" are not pets and they have no names. They are bred and raised in farms, just like pigs, cows, lambs, chickens and other farm animals. They are usually put down "humanely" just like any other farm animal, by slitting the throat and bleeding the animal until it passes out.- However some disturbing cases of food dogs being tortured before being slaughtered have been documented.

This series of photos shows the process involved in preparing a dog for dinner, from slautering to cutting-up, eviscerating, de-boning, cooking and of course eating! These photos were taken in Bac Ha, a small town in the Northern part of Vietnam, and in various markets of the region.

In case you are wondering, I did not order the dog for dinner, I just stumbled on the scene in the street and documented it, since I had my camera.

Two jeeps on a steep and rugged mountain road in the Kali Gandaki valley, between Tatopani and Jomsom, in the Annapurnas (Nepal)

Those are the only cars we crossed on this road during the entire day. Looks like they were carrying tourists or trekkers. Other motorized traffic we saw was a local bus, a truck and a couple of other motorbikes, that's all.

It is better to carry all the tools and spare parts you may need in case of puncture or break-down, if you don't want to spend a long time waiting for help on this remote road.

BLM Rangers arrested a guy who was riding a scooter on the playa at night. Riding a scooter (and any other unauthorized motor vehicle) on the playa during the event is not allowed, and this guy should have read the rules. Plus, he had no helmet. He probably got a hefty ticket.

I saw a lot of abusive police action on the playa this year, but in this case, they did their job right.
