Wow. I came across this video and it dragged me in.
Buried Alive!
A skier with a helmet-cam starts down a slope and you have to see what happens…
Stick with the video. It’s not over. The silence and blue is the skier under the avalanche!

Unbelievable art and video – Kseniya Simonova
Posted by TopOfTheThread on January 5, 2010
This was sent to me in an email. (Thanks Chris.)
The text of the email and the video are below. YOU MUST READ THE POST BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO! Amazing. The talent is unbelievable.
===============================
email was cut and pasted…
Kseniya Simonova says: “I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment.”

Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, South Dakota
Posted by TopOfTheThread on May 4, 2008
The Crazy Horse Memorial was started June 3rd, 1948 to honor the Northe American Indians.
Crazy Horse was the only chief who did not surrender nor sign a peace treaty with the United States.
This sculpture is to be world’s largest mountain sculpture. To put it in perspective, when completed, Mount Rushmore would fit in one eye ball of the Craze Horse Monument.
There is no government funding involved in the project. This allows them to do as they wish, on their own schedule. As you can imagine, this also creates a tight budget.
No one really knows when this project will be completed. It may take an additional 50 years or more…
