Snowball fights

Click any image to enlarge

This post is for my northern visitors. Apparently, when it is cold enough outside to have that disgusting form of water known as snow littering the ground, they'll go out and bean each other with balls made from the snow. Sounds completely daft to me, but I guess we have to respect the traditions of primitive tribes. So, enjoy these paintings of the snowball fighting ceremony so popular in the frigid lands.

Electricity in wires

Earlier I did an art post about telephone poles and power lines. This video discusses how power is distributed down those lines in the most efficient manner.

Slavery

Slavery is extremely common throughout human history in one form or another. The most common form being chattel slavery, where the slave was considered property of another. Other common forms were/are bond slavery and forced labor. As we can tell from the prevalence of human trafficking in the news, we are still dealing with those issues.

These are paintings of slaves in the New World.

Walking in downtown Singapore

This is walk through downtown Singapore including its Chinatown district. He wanders through a lot of narrow side streets. A nice, well kept looking area. The murals are impressive.
