'Sheep View'

'Sheep View' is a blog which consists of rather interesting screenshots of flocks of sheep spotted on Google Street View. Captioned 'JOURNEYS THROUGH AN OVINE WASTELAND' the last post appears to have been from 2010. Perhaps most curious are the captions the screenshot collecter (whose pen-name is Birches) has given the images. Below is a selection of these screenshots and the author's own captions:

4: 50 pm: A standoff. Momentary tension as hooves steady to position in the bony soil. The flock disperses. Silent knowledge held only between brothers. 5:40 pm: The party has retreated to evening pastures, leaving me alone in threadbare clothes and skin flushed red from exposure. Good Lord, but I am thankful for Spring's final arrival in Estérençuby.

Each set of explosions was calculated to paint a different picture

This youtube clip documents (terribly) the (thundering) opening of the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar, where Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put a large "explosion event". The display is controlled by microchip-explosives which are programmed to create the volatile and exciting stormy, powder-splatters in the shapes of pyramids, rainbows and the like. Rather more exciting than nocturnal fireworks.

A History of the sky

Ken Murphy custom-designed the technology to capture this matrix of 360 24-hour time-lapses of the sky over San Francisco over the course of a year. This single camera pointing to the sky took 1 photo every 10 seconds over a 24 hour period for one year. The following mosaic combines 360 of these time-lapse films, each tracking a 24 hour period starting before dawn. The time lapses are synced and arranged chronologically; the darker strip of footage in the centre is presumably from the dim winter months.
