Composite Photo Art

I think that this is interesting - the artist takes dozens of photos of the same site and lays them over each other to form likenesses of the original object of the photo (various world landmarks)and they end up being quite interesting. Here is a link to the artist and more photos from The Empty Quarter. Here is a link to the original piece I read about it

Belgian Waffling

So what were you expecting from the title? Maybe something about a waffle? When I read the title of this news article, I thought there would be something about a "world's biggest waffle" or something like that. Enjoy the article and once you begin reading it you will instantly know why it was posted here on No Profundity!

Lasagna Cupcakes

So usually I like to add a little bit of commentary - just a little bit but today I will let the title, link and picture do the talking!

Big Boats

So I have been getting emails from Cunard for several years. Don't worry, I signed up for them and hopefully someday I will be financially independent enough that Carmen and I can take an Around the World cruise with them but in the mean time I have enjoyed all of the promotional materials they send me in the mail and by email about far off exotic locales and shipboard activities. Here is a pretty cool video of the "Three Queeens" all in New York harbor together.

Aluminum Christmas Tree

For a fun holiday post I thought I would share a little about aluminum christmas trees. At my parents house we have had one of these trees for nearly 20 years and it is an original from the early 1960s that came from my grandparents. Here is a good general piece of information with a few pictures of the christmas tree. Here are a few videos of aluminum trees too, in the second video you can see the color wheel. .

Airports

It has been a while since I posted about myself so this will be about airports I have been to.

The smallest airport I have been is Chipata, Zambia. The "terminal" there was smaller than a single family house in the US. I have taken off and landed at smaller dirt landing strips but they are not airports.

The largest ariport I have been to is Denver International Airport as far as land mass goes. DIA is the third largest airport in the world by this metric. The largest airport building I have been in is not DIA even though the terminal there is very large, it is Terminal 1 at Chep Lap Kok airport in Hong Kong. This building is over 570000 sq. meters of floor space. Part of the check-in area is below. The busiest airport I have been to is Chicago O'Hare airport. though I have been to Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson airport, when I was there it was #2 in the world and O'Hare was #1. They have since swapped this ranking and Atlanta is far in the lead for busiest airport in the world.

Based on 2009 statistics, I have been to 7 of the 10 busiest airports in the world - 12 of the top 20 - 16 of the top 30.

The airport I have been to by far the most is DIA as it was my home airport for most of my life.

Based on some of my one-way flights in Africa, I have several airports that I have been to the fewest number of times.
