agreed, but...

actually felix,
i saw a whole documentary that was strictly "the history of the swstica" {however you spell it.}
and that symbol was being used around the world for a long long time before hitler decided to make the his symbol of evil!
i dont remember the details, history, or origins of the symbol but when you see that in historical statues/ architecture it usally doesnt ever relate to nazis...(just to give a very un-informitive, detail lacking, history lesson.. im sure someone else on this forum could correct me with proper info)

whats the deal? knowbody likes my photo? i feel comment deprived

^that is cool, where is it ?

It was taken outside the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagn, Denmark. I have heard that the vikings used the swastika to represent sunrise and that in 1881 Carlsberg registered the swastika as a trademark until they decided to stop using it in 1938. If you look at the large version of the picture you can see a tear drop below the elephant's right eye.

haha, iamthoughts! i believe we covered the whole swastika thing in last week's competition, when renowned neo-nazi tambourine-man posted a pic of his fascist buddha god. i posted a link to wikipedia.

about your photo this week: it's awesome, but have you not posted the same one, but in colour? i could be wrong though.

It was really difficult for me to choose a photo to enter this time. I didn't want to mirror anyone else's submission or burn potential entries for future rounds. I ended up with the following from my archives:

Last winter on Lake Ontario

yes my friend you are mistaken. the photo your thinking about is in the "BLUE" round, check it out and you will understand why your confused. they are similar but IMO my entery this week is like 1000 times better thatn that photo.


and here is the color version (with a different crop) for ninjadanslarbretabar
it was taken by filling a wheel barrel up with water and dripping droplets in while trying to catch the exact point of impact. if you drip the droplet 1cm to close or to far from the lense it will be out of focus. this is real hard to do and takes lots of patients plus about 100-200 shots to get a few nice ones.
(the water is green becasue of the trees surounding my yard)

 

[ninjadanslarbretabar]

^nice
i like this one a lot more

its a good thing to be patient !
( thanks for showing me the color version )
