July 25, 2007: Rice paddy drawings

Zippyt finds this at a blog called pink tentacle. So you know what HE surfs for.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think I'd been at the rice wine - that's amazing!

Then again, although very cool it's a lot tougher to view than Diamond Vision.

what amazes me most about this, is that the final result of this effort cannot be seen from the ground, a high viewpoint is needed, isn't it?

Wow! The contrast is amazing. Neat stuff.

Reminds me of the work of the Midwest's own Stan Herd, although with typically Eastern obsessive attention to detail as opposed to Stan's plow it up methodology.

Tons cooler than crop circles. Them Japs must get a cooler class of aliens stopping by.

well done zippyt! You are WAY cool (but then I've always known that!).

This one is called, "A Giant Wasp With a Holy Flyswatter, an Octopus with a Stethoscope & Backwards Baseball Cap, and Two Apples, Fights a Ninja With a Short Sword, an Apple and a Rectangular Shield With Sponsors Names Like NASCAR."

So I occasionally tend to fixate on small, unimportant details.

Such as, in this case, the fact that in the two (chronologically) earlier photos, there is a line of telephone poles running along the road that bisects the field. Yet in this year's photo, the telephone poles are gone.


Hmmm...

Nope, SPUCK, I see it. This is the same building in these two pictures. But I don't think it's photoshopped, I think they just took down the light poles. I guess we can wait and see if they're there next year.

Well, you know all the Oriental(buildings) look alike.
Evidently they yanked the street lights.

edit
They are in the 2003, 2005 and 2006 pictures.

Thanks, Clodfobble.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to claim it was a photochop or anything -- I'm reasonably happy that they aren't. I just thought it was interesting. Like I said, just fixating on small details.

As pointed out, the poles in this year now start across from the little bride. But in the two earlier pictures, there are poles across from the building circled by Clodfobble, and then another one in between the building and the bridge. Now those first two are gone. I just thought it was strange, 's all.

That's OK, mrputter. We know you're not one of those trouble makers from Quebec.

All righty then... Nice weather eh?



Yeah I see it now, thanks Clod.
