Windsurfing in the dust storm

I had to stop for a while, visibility was really too low!

Scott London took these other photos of me windsurfing on the playa:

www.scottlondon.com/photo/burningman2005/025.html

Check the photos i took of other people using my windsurf gear on the playa!

Sadly all my land sailing gear got stolen (yes, stolen!) last year at Burning Man 2007 (board, 2 sails, 2 carbon masts, 2 booms, streamers), more than $1500 worth of equipment. The equipment was stolen just before the dust storm on Friday afternoon, near 8:00 and Esplanade in front of the minigolf camp. I filed a police report. Any information about this equipment is welcome, e.g. maybe you have seen your neighbors coming to their camp with all this gear?

I don't know if I'll have the heart to do that again...

Long-legged cave centipede - Thereuopoda longicornis.

They have 30 legs and poison claws. Local people say they can inflict painful bites.

Some people say those are Scutigera decipiens but i'm pretty sure that's incorrect. If you can confirm the exact species, please post a comment.

Spotted in Clearwater Cave in Gunung Mulu National Park (Borneo).

The Clearwater System is believed to be the largest interconnected cave system in the world by volume and the 9th longest cave in the world at 189 Km (as of 2011).

Khasi woman preparing her Betel nuts (India)

The woman is removing the husk of an Areca nut.

The metal box she is holding contains calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), an ingredient that enhances the potency of the Betel nut.

The Areca nut is then wrapped with Betel leaf and chewed for its exhilarating lift. Betel chewing has been claimed to produce a sense of well-being, euphoria, heightened alertness, sweating, salivation, a hot sensation in the body and increased capacity to work.

Just like alcohol, tobacco, coffee and sakau, Areca nut and Betel leaf are culturally-approved psychoactive drugs.

The Areca nut, by association, is sometimes inaccurately called the "Betel nut" or "Betel Quids".

See the Areca nut Wikipedia article.

The Man burns (again)

The first Man was burned 4 days earlier by arson

Found this interesting news clip:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black Rock City (AP) - After the early torching of the Burning Man festival signature figure by an arsonist, the Burning Man Organization decided that all future copies of the "Man" would be made in China and shipped to Nevada.

"We already purchase all our fireworks from China", said Larry Harvey, one of the co-founders of the Burning Man festival. "So it made sense to outsource the Man too."

"Chinese-built copies of the 40-foot tall Man will cost us about 10 times less than domestic copies, and this will save us a lot of green stuff", Harvey explained, referring to this year’s "Green Man" theme.

"The Chinese Man will be 100% identical to the domestic version, very combustible and based on the same original blueprints from my good friend John Law. We don't expect any lead poisoning problems", Harvey added.

There has been rumors that the significant cost saving will permit the festival organization to burn a copy of the Man every night of the week, which some see as environmentally questionable as well as a disguised way to prevent any future early torching of the figure.

The first batch of Chinese-made Man is expected to ship early august 2008, and there are currently no plans to make Chinese copies available to the general public, although this is being discussed in the organization.

Open Defecation Free Myagdi District sign (Nepal)

This rather funny sign means that it is forbidden to poop in the open.

They put this sign because this is the Annapurnas trekking Route, frequented by many tourists, and presumably they think tourists do not like when local Nepali people relieve themselves in nature. They also built basic toilets every couple of Km along the road, but those are already in disrepair and have no water.

There is of course no Nepali Poop Police (in fact, barely any Police at all!), and this regulation is not enforced. I had diarrhea when i was there, and I had no problem pooping in the open :)

DSC01875 - Leg Bones - Human Skeletal Remains in Ganges Flood Plain (India) by Loupiote

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

Human skeletal remains (leg bones) in the Ganges flood plain near Allahabad (India).

The flood plain of the Ganges river is like a sandy desert during the dry season, but it is completely flooded during the monsoon (rainy season).

It is common to stumble upon human skeletons on the Ganges flood plain, as the Ganges is a Holy river for Hindu people. Hindu are normally cremated, but some categories of people are "buried" directly in the river. This includes pregnant women, young children, Sadhus / Hindu holy men, and people victims of contagious diseases or bitten by a Cobra snake.

Their remains end up scattered over the sandy flood plain during the dry season, when it becomes a desert, and disturbed or dug-up by wild animals or stray dogs.
