And something you'll likely never see again.

Definitely worth a look.

Did you notice 10% are dogs?

Gravdigr · 06-08-2012, 03:32 PM

Not the best quality...I have never seen this photo before today.

I think this larger photo is even more powerful than the more famous 'Tank Man' pic.

That was one awesome individual.

How'd that work out for them?

classicman · 06-08-2012, 08:19 PM

Here is a pic taken a few moments earlier. He was apparently walking home from the store.

ZenGum · 06-08-2012, 08:30 PM

He was indeed carrying bags of shopping home.

After a few minutes of stopping the tanks, some other people (friendly) pulled him away.

I've heard two different people have been imprisoned on suspicion of being this guy. I think one got 20 years.

Gravdigr · 06-09-2012, 03:30 PM

Tank Man is dead. His father (some of you might argue it wasn't his dad, just some dude wanting attention; you don't seek attention in China, you might get it) admitted his son was Tank Man, and he was killed after being taken by the gubmint. He (the dad) committed suicide, in protest of no info on his son, this past couple weeks or so ago, leaving a note behind saying as much.

I'll see if I can dig through my browsing history and find the news article.

Gravdigr · 06-09-2012, 03:38 PM

My apologies. Nowhere in the article I referred to did it say the guy was Tank Man's father. He was "a protester's father".

Here's the article I read.

Ima moran sometimes.

TheMercenary · 06-12-2012, 09:18 PM

Yea, so it still begs the question..... "How'd that work out for them?"

Obama gave minor support to the Libya uprising and is taking full credit for it in his run for re-election and letting the Syrian people get slaughtered.... MF should own up to his failures.

This tree is apparently in Happy Valley, Hong Kong. Can't find much more information on it than that. You can see the younger trees in the background, and the tiny amount of open dirt they let each tree have. When you plant a tree, it's a good idea to be aware of what kind of tree you are planting, and if it will fit in the spot you have chosen once it matures. But I think this is really cool and am glad this one grew this way.

But I did find a picture of this tree or a very similar one where they have removed the brick pavers and the roots are exposed.

Gravdigr · 06-15-2012, 08:46 AM

That's cool as hell.

That's pretty good.

I always wondered at the folks who put such effort into good graffiti art. When that construction site is gone in 6 months or a year, that art will be gone too. Assuming it doesn't get painted over before then.
