Sierra Ferrell

Seeing Sierra Ferrell perform live might not be #1 on my Things I Want to Do Before I Die list but it's right up there. She is the embodiment of whimsical hillbilly gothic. She’s on tour right now.

I posted her performance with Shakey Graves at Red Rocks awhile back and it’s probably my favourite. See it here.

The Last Ice Age

From Emmy- and Peabody-nominated filmmakers Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Emergence Magazine presents “The Last Ice Age.”

“ On a journey retracing his grandparents’ annual spring pilgrimage to Iceland’s Vatnajökull glacier, Andri searches for the stories that lie at the edges of our climate crisis in both scientific data and his family’s memories.”

Valencia Hyperlapse

“To capture all these spots, I relied on my folding bike, which I always carry in the trunk of my car. Valencia, with its incredible network of bike lanes, was an absolute dream to explore this way, allowing me to move quickly between locations to chase the perfect light.” - Kirill Neiezhmakov

A Very Good Boy

First responders in Southern California needed to land an emergency helicopter, but there was a herd of goats standing in the landing area.The herd’s Great Pyrenees went to work. The dog quickly rounded up the goats and moved them away, clearing enough space for the helicopter to safely land.

The goats are part of Laguna Beach’s wildfire-prevention program. They graze on dry brush and other vegetation to create fuel breaks that can help slow the spread of wildfires.

Hiroshima Shadow

On this day in 1945 a customer was sitting on the steps of Sumitomo Bank in Hiroshima, likely waiting for the branch to open, when the Little Boy atomic bomb exploded over the city. The intense heat burned the stone building white. The customer’s body shielded one section of the steps, leaving a “shadow”visible as a darkened area.

Photograph by Yoshito Matsushige. A journalist's legs were included to provide context to the scene.

Throughout the center of Hiroshima were a myriad of haunting outlines from window panes, valves, and even people in their last seconds. Etched on buildings and sidewalks now were the nuclear shadows of a city about to be obliterated.

This is perhaps the most famous of the Hiroshima shadows. It is one of the most complete impressions left behind by the blast, and remained in place for over 20 years before it was removed and taken to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. It is known as Human Shadow of Death or the Blast Shadow

Foods, Cubed

It appears that someone had excellent knife skills. 98 unprocessed foods were carved by hand into perfect cubes of 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm and arranged and  photographed. There is another photograph with labels on the cubes.
