CC photo #19: Lucky girl gets to lead Der Paul et al past the Rijeka 2008 audience
That Croatian girl seems pretty happy with her job, leading Mads Glæsner, Paul Biedermann and Massimiliano Rosolino (in that order) past photographers and audience after the Rijeka 2008 European Short Course men’s 400 freestyle medal ceremony. And yes, I must stress that she did wear clothes :-P

Underwater dragon dance in Bangkok
Thailand prepared to welcome in the Year of the Black Water Dragon on Tuesday as the Lunar New Year approached. In Bangkok, children attended a unique performance which included an underwater Chinese dragon dance. Hmm, if they could make that go really fast, by wearing fins or riding some underwater jetski underneath the outfit, then it would be the perfect thing to scare the kids (and adults) with :-)

Biologists capture rare photos of whales and dolphins playing together
Via Treehugger, they’re pretty excited that wild humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins take time out to play with each other off the coast of Hawaii. Unfortunately we only get to see shots of dolphins riding whales, and not the other way around :-P

CC photo #18: The forest of flags at Shanghai 2011
An angled view of the flags outside the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai. Always difficult to get good photos of flags, but a stiff breeze sure helped. Just strange (for me) when the wind temperature is well above 30°C (86°F).

Behold Filip Jonker and his cardboard boat
Named after the tugboat in Jan de Hartog’s 1940 book Hollands Glorie (published in English as Captain Jan), Dutch artist Filip Jonker’s boat De Furie is 24 feet long and made out of standard honeycomb cardboard. Fitted with a 33-horsepower diesel engine, it made the trip from Enschede in Holland to London, crossing the English channel in 22 hours. But OK, with a 4 mm thick layer of heavy-duty paint normally used on gas pipes, one could say that it is as much made out of paint, as cardboard :-)
“A lot of people asked why I didn’t do a testmodel first, but in my opinion that is already all the effort”
