A war with bows and arrows in Kenya (18 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       15 Oct 2009       13284
It happened in March 2008. Post-election clashes between tribes re-awakened ancient ethnic rivalries and they used bows and arrows to fight instead of the usual machetes. They said it was a more deadly alternative.
It’s very impressive and unusual. More than 20 people died in the fighting and a man was even shot in the face…
The pictures that impressed me the most are the ones where you see the Maasai warriors with members of the Kalenjin tribe on a hill overlooking the Olmelil Valley.

I love bacon, I eat it rarely though.
And it was quite a news for me to learn that in the U.S. there is canned bacon in case of war. It can be stored up to 10 years!
I wonder if it really tastes good…

While newspapers are filled with news about the pirates of Somalia, there is a war for power that is lasting between the loyal and hardline Islamists.
Thousands of innocent people die in this fight. Since the beginning of the insurgency in December 2006, nearly 17,000 civilians lost their lives.

Great work with minor details.
It took its author 6 years to finish the project.

The story of one airplane (14 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       19 May 2009       14915
There was a Soviet fighter aircraft flying, fighting with Nazis enemies, but once he was shot and fell into a lake.
After more than 60 years, historians found this place and lifted the aircraft from the lake (surprisingly enough, but the aircraft was well preserved). They buried the pilot and even found canned pork.
Note: this is a U.S. fighter aircraft P-39 Airacobra. It was used during the Second World War with mediocre performance by the Americans in the Pacific, then with a great effectiveness by the French in North Africa and Italy and especially by the Soviets (who received the majority of the production).
