Giant Koi Geoglyph.

By Farceur

(2019-08-08)

Here is a 266 meter long representation of a Koi.
The are the sometimes very expensive and colorful cousin to the common carp. Koi are the product of centuries of selective breeding and make up a large part of Chinese art and culture.
This piece of art is built on a bend just over one kilometer downstream from the dam wall.
The dam construction was started around the year 2000 and completed around 2005 flooding the valley and slowly submerging the townships of Axilecun and Tokkuztara Dairy Farm in Xinjiang, China.
I can only presume both the art and the dam were built at the same time.
There may be little or no information of the artwork or the artist.

Rice paddy art

By milwhcky

(2013-09-14)

Since 1993, farmers in Inakadate, Aomori, Japan, have used four different types of rice to create a giant design in this field.

In the beginning, the designs were simple, but they grew more complex over the years. The designs are best viewed from a 22 meter tall tower next to the field. In recent years, they have attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to the village each year.

The design seen in this Google map is from 2011.

The satellite photo does not do this justice. Examples of this amazing work can be seen in the Wikipedia link below.

Victorinox Swiss Army knife

By adrbr

(2010-01-20)

The term "Swiss Army knife" is sometimes used metaphorically to describe usefulness, such as a software tool that is a collection of special-purpose tools. The term "Swiss Army knife" was coined by US soldiers after World War II, presumably because they had trouble pronouncing its original name, "Offiziersmesser". The "Swiss Army knife" has been added to the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Munich's State Museum of Applied Art for its design.
