Not photos as such, but fairly amazing.

From the qualifying session for the 1997 European GP, for those who don't know.

Nazroo, a mahout (elephant driver), poses for a portrait while taking his elephant, Rajan, out for a swim in front of Radha Nagar Beach in Havelock, Andaman Islands. Rajan is one of the few elephants in Havelock that can swim, so when he is not dragging timber in the forest he is used as a tourist attraction. The relationship between the mahout and his elephant usually lasts for their entire lives, creating an extremely strong tie between the animal and the human being.

Even during the Arirang Mass Games in North Korea, the ultimate expression of the state ideology, an individual can still sometimes stand out from the crowd and break free of the collective. If only just for a moment. (Photo and caption by Brendyn Zachary)

That was amazing. The photos leading to and the last picture was very touching.

Speaking of which...

It's more about the art of photography and the feelings a single picture can transmit. Am¡azing work if you're a photography bust, IMO.

I'd like to see some crazy mo-fo drift that.

 

[FoolKiller]

Are those cars parked, or is that traffic? Because I see a perfectly legitimate passing lane.

Central and eastern Chinese provinces faced the worst natural gas shortage in years as supplies were diverted to snowstorm-hit northern China, while producers lacked incentives to expand output because of poor margins, a state broadcaster said on Tuesday.

Cool photo. Looks EXACTLY like Hong Kong apart from the taxis are a different colour. I wonder how many taxis there are in China including HK? The figure must be huge.

Full size

Glastonbury 2004 from the air. 150,000 people, 900 acres and 3,225 toilets! It's even bigger than that these days too, I have a newer photo in a book I've got but it can't be scanned as it's printed over 2 pages.

It looks like Butlins.
