Most of the cars to be scrapped are mid-sized City sedans and Brio and Jazz hatchbacks. The scrapping process at Honda’s plant in the central province of Ayutthaya is expected to take one month. The devastating floods were the worst the country experienced in 50 years and left over 700 people dead. Vehicles are seen after floodwaters receded at the Honda factory in Ayutthaya province on Nov. 26. The factory has the capacity to assemble 240,000 cars a year and is the second-largest automobile factory in Thailand....

Some remakes are breathtaking while others are humorous. Here are some of my favorites.
It is one of the largest gathering of twins in the world with approximately 3,000 sets attending each year. Twins Days began in 1976 in with just 37 sets of twins in attendance. The festival grew steadily each year to be the largest gathering of twins in the world. And thus Millsville became Twinsberg. Moses and Aaron Wilcox were reportedly so identical that only their closest friends could tell them apart....
Laramee uses books that are slowly falling apart, such as old encyclopedias and dictionaries to create dramatic landscapes. In the artists own words: Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS....
Vinicius Quesadais a talented street artist from Brazil who likes to add a shock value to his artwork. His series entitledBlood Piss Blueswere created using exactly what it says blood and urine. To each one of these colors, I add a specific amount of blood, depending on the tone. Green/yellow receives less blood and I also add urine. Red takes a lot more, but also uses real paint. This is because it’s hard to get blood, since I use only mine....
The islanders, however, returned in 1963 and the settlement was rebuilt. Narrow valleys or gulches radiate from the central peak which remain snow covered in winter. On the northwestern plain, the deposits has formed green fields where the islanders grow their potatoes. Photo credit The remote location of the islands makes transport to the outside world difficult. Lacking an airport, the islands can be reached only by sea. The islands were first sighted in 1506 by Portuguese explorer Tristao da Cunha but rough seas prevented a landing....
Giant sequoias, also known as giant redwoods, are the largest trees in the world. There are at least three surviving Drive-Through trees all located in California, where the trees grow naturally. Then there is theTunnel Logalong the Crescent Meadow Road in Sequoia National Park. The following summer, a tunnel was cut through the fallen log as a visitor attraction. The tunnel, which remains in use today, is 17 feet wide and 8 feet high....
The theme park opened its annual exhibition with a fashion show featuring ensembles made from the tasty treat. Models clad in chocolate-made costumes that looked good enough to eat, strutted the ramp. “Chocolate can be crispy and it’s not very malleable nor can you easily shape it. This time the craftsmen had added some special ingredients so it could be easily shaped. It was more practical for us. So you could see that it’s soft and sticks to the fabric....
If you drive on Interstate 4 between Plant City and Tampa, you will see it. It took two years of legal battle but in the end the judge ruled that Airstream Ranch can stay. Airstream Ranch was inspired by a similar art installation in Amarillo, Texas called Cadillac Ranch. Yet Cadillac Ranch is more popular than ever. The cars are periodically repainted various colors. A new coat of paint usually lasts less than 24 hours before fresh graffiti starts to appear....
Peter plans capture highway interchanges around the globe. Everyday cars flow over these highway junctions like the concrete arteries of citys cardiovascular system. I love having the chance to watch them moving while I am shooting from above. I ask the viewer to closely examine the traffic, terrain, and surrounding architecture in the images. My interest is in observing the differences seen between them. Some are slick and chaotic while others appear chipped-up and old but at the same time neat and symmetrical....
It could take weeks, even months, before Frank is fully satisfied that each model is indeed flawless. He had to teach himself the ins and outs of model making and admits that hes still learning it. Frank admits that he is obsessive about getting every detail just right before finally getting his camera out. I find it interesting if there are different levels of looking at the works. Sometimes funny and unsettling things arent far away from each other....
