Yesterday we took a trip to Africa and enjoyed the rhythms of everyday life. Today we'll take a trip to the other side of the world for a bit of unusual dance. I'm not crazy about the music, but the movement is mesmerizing. Enjoy!

Life is short for some...
Melting Men is a series of art installations from the Minimum Monument project created by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo. Since 2005, Azevedo has been setting up her Melting Men in various countries around the world. Although originally intended as a critic of the role of monuments in cities, environmentalists around the world are adopting her work as climate change art.
Usually the spectators help Nele to put the ice figures in place. Depending on the venue, they last 30 to 50 minutes.

Two is a crowd
MD sent me a collection of unusual photos, including this one:
I did a bit of searching and found out the population has doubled recently.
Buford was founded in 1866, during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in Wyoming. At its peak, the town boasted a population of 2000.
Don Sammons moved to Buford in 1980 with his wife and son. In 1992, he purchased the town. His wife died in 1995, and his son moved away around 2007, making him Buford's only resident.
The town, consisting of a convenience store, gas station, and modular home on 4 hectares (9.9 acres) of land, was put up for sale after Sammons decided to move closer to his son.
The town was put up for auction on April 5, 2012, with the highest bid of $900,000 by two unidentified Vietnamese men.
I focused on just one of the pictures because I can't imagine living in a place like this by myself or with just one other person!
I'll publish the other photos another time. Thank you, MD.
