The Man, by Larry Harvey, Rod Garrett.

This one looks really nice in large size.

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.

Photo taken at the Burning Man 2009 festival (Black Rock Desert, Nevada).

Bena Primitive Village on Flores Island (Indonesia)

In Central Flores, traditional villages are in the shape of a circle of wooden houses facing a central plaza. The village plaza is a cemetery, with graves and special structures built for the spirits. The miniature houses are for the female spirits, and the straw umbrellas are for the male spirits.

Megalith / menhirs (large pointy stones planted in the ground) could me memorial stones or ancient graves (I am not sure).

On this photo, you can see ancient memorial stones or graves.

This one is quite large, maybe used for an extended family, or for someone important like a village chief. No-one knows, and the ancient stones are unmarked (maybe dating from a time where indigenous people could not write). It may also be a Megalithic Cenotaph (memorial monument), rather than actual graves.

This village is still maintained by its inhabitants (mostly elderly people). Some other traditional villages in the area are now deserted and kept just for tourists, when their inhabitants moved to more comfortable "modern" concrete houses with a satellite TV dish.

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

The "Petite Ceinture" or "PC" (Small Belt) is an abandoned railway line in the city of Paris (France).

The PC circles around Paris, hence the name "Small Belt". It was used for metro-type passenger trains until 1934. Since then, it is completely abandoned, made obsolete by the new underground metro lines, but most of the rails, tunnels and stations still exist. The PC mostly runs in trench or overpasses, with a few tunnel segments.

A classic destination for Parisian graffiti artists and urban explorers! Of course, this is a NO TRESPASSING area, and the Police Ferroviaire (Railway Police) occasionally writes hefty tickets to trespassers.

Check my other photos of railways.
