lime without the coconut, ( you're such a silly wo-oman )






daniel jung's slide show ... preparing the basura sagrada before this year's burning man




i have wasted hours, days, even weeks, trawling the internet for pictures from the burning man festival and have found hundreds of great ones ... this link is for anyone who likes messing around with wood ... and stuff ... not that these artists are messing around, of course

take notice ... in dennington church in suffolk


a little miracle ... i think the letters must have been painted originally but the paint has gone now and somehow the shapes of the letters have been raised above the surface of the wood
... on second thoughts, the un-oiled wood around the letters has shrunk ... 'twould be nice if something might be done to conserve this ephemera
