My friend laying down near a Sailing Stone on the Racetrack dry lake in Death Valley (California)

Sailing stones are rocks that move in long tracks on the smooth and perfectly flat surface of a dry lake, without human or animal intervention. The rocks are most likely propelled by strong winds while entrapped in floating ice sheets (or icebergs), after winter rains flooded the dry lake and made the mud soft and slippery.

For more photos and information about the Racetrack sailing stones, go to my Sailing Stones photo series.

Small boats are patrolling the safety fence, in case a pilgrim would accidentally get swept away by the river current, as most of the Hindu pilgrims can't swim!

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

5975 - vietnam - dog meat - Stuffing the intestine to make sausages. Or should we say, "hot dogs" - Thịt chó by Loupiote

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. The stuffing is then placed in the stomach and puched through the entire intestine.

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.

That's how my KLR 650 motorbike looked when I reached home, after spending a week at the Burning Man festival. I'd say there was at least 150 lbs of luggage on that work-horse. Plus a few lbs of playa dust!

It looked like that from the side.

The bike was so heavy that it was unstable on the kick-stand, so i was using a wooden stick to prop it on the other side.

My left pannier is an aluminium Happy-Trail box, while the right one is a Pelican 1550 plastic case. The rack is a knock-off of the Happy-Trail rack, and it proved to be pretty sturdy.
