Erik Nordenankar - Biggest Drawing in the World


Erik Nordenankar used the help of GPS and DHL to create the Biggest Drawing in the World.

Update: Erik's project has been receiving a lot of discussion and had to add a little note to his site. Turns out it was his graduation project and is fictional in that DHL never delivered the package. I still think it is a well done project, especially for generating the buzz it did.

Mono Lake



Mono Lake Pano, originally uploaded by twenty2wo.

Got to drive past this lake on our little road trip this past weekend.

Mono Lake lies in a lifeless, treeless, hideous desert, eight thousand feet above the level of the sea, and is guarded by mountains two thousand feet higher, whose summits are always clothed in clouds. This solemn, silent, sailless sea -- this lonely tenant of the loneliest spot on earth -- is little graced with the picturesque. It is an unpretending expanse of grayish water, about a hundred miles in circumference, with two islands in its centre, mere upheavals of rent and scorched and blistered lava, snowed over with gray banks and drifts of pumice-stone and ashes, the winding sheet of the dead volcano, whose vast crater the lake has seized upon and occupied.

Hawaii


Honolulu International, originally uploaded by twenty2wo.

I was lucky enough to spend five days in Hawaii on the island of Kauai two weeks ago. It was an amazing place and I took a ton of photos. I have been slowly uploading the better of the bunch to flickr. Check them out and if you ever get the chance, got to Kauai.
