Duck blood (Vietnam)

This blood comes from ducks that were slaughtered and sold on a market. In the bowl on the left, it is still warm and not coagulated!

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.

DSC09712 - Hindu Pilgrims Bathing in the Ganges River at Sangam - Kumbh Mela 2013 (India) by Loupiote

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

Hindu pilgrims bathing before dawn in the Ganges river, at the Sangam, during the Kumbh Mela 2013 festival near Allahabad (India)

The wooden poles in the water are a safety fence, as most of the Hindu pilgrims can't swim! There are also small river boats patrolling the fence for safety, in case a pilgrim would accidentally get swept away by the river current.

Many pilgrims carry a plastic bottle that they fill-up with holy water from the Ganges river.

The Triveni Sangam is the confluence of the Yamuna and the Ganga (Ganges) rivers, and this is the holiest place to take the ritual baths during the Kumbh Mela.

This was the early morning of January 27 (a full-moon night, called Paush Purnima), one of the most auspicious mornings for taking the holy bath.

Kumbh Mela is the largest festival on Earth, taking place once every 12 years, with more than 50 million Hindu pilgrims gathering to pray and bathe in the holy Ganges river.

11500 coeur-de-croisement - Rail Frog - abandoned Canfranc estation train station by Loupiote

34 9

This rail crossing structure is called a "frog" (in french, it's called "coeur de croisement"), and it looks amazingly like the burning man logo.

The abandoned Canfranc estation (train station) in the Pyrennees mountains in northern Spain.

It was the largest in europe when it was built, and it was supposed to become the main rail communication route between France and Spain.

But the Canfranc estation was almost NEVER used, it is abandoned and no-one knows what to do with it.

The train line on the french side (mostly tunnels and bridges) was never developed, and it is now totally abandoned after a bridge of the old single-track line collapsed in 1970. There is still a one-car diesel train that reaches the Canfranc estation once or twice a day from the spanish side.

For more information about the Canfranc estation, read: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estaci%C3%B3n_Internacional_de_Canf...

Daryl's amazing railroad tattoo (San Francisco)

Train tracks, switches and tunnels cover his entire body, front and back, from head to toes (litterally), in a perfectly symetrical and seamless pattern. He designed the tattoo and said it took 200 hours of work to realise the work.

Daryl spent many years of his life "freight train hopping", which involves countless days of walking long miles along desert tracks.

Most tunnels in Daryl's tattoo bear his birth year (1957), but this one has the number 5150, which is the US police code for "Mentally disturbed person" :)

Warzone? no, this is just the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations in Chinatown (San Francisco)

Each year, late on the night of the Chinese New Year, chaos erupts in the heart of Chinatown. An insane amount of very illegal firecrackers and fireworks are lit-up and detonated in the streets. The air fills-up with thick, rancid, toxic smoke. Sparks and rockets fly randomly in all directions. The local Police knows that they cannot stop the madness, so they prefer to stay away. Participants are highly advised to wear ear and eyes protection.

This unoficial event dubbed "Chinatown Bang" attracts local Chinese Americans as well as members of the San Francisco Cacophony Society. After running out of ammunitions, participants celebrate the Chinese lunar new year in local bars.

5985 - vietnam - dog meat - Stuffing the intestine to make sausages. Or should we say, "hot dogs" - Thịt chó by Loupiote

3 14

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

Before eating the dog: Stuffing the intestine 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.

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.
