"killer mountain" resue attempt
Tomaz Humar is one of Slovenia's best-known mountain climbers
Recently he attempted to climb the treacherous Nanga Parbat, located in Northern Pakistan. It is popularly referred to as the "killer mountain" since many mountaineers have died attempting to climb it.

He got stuck on the way there and was rescued in a daring attempt by the Pakistan Army pilots. Please note that flying in a chopper, in the thin air at 6000 meters, is a very difficult thing to do
Tomaz has posted pictures and videos of his resuce attempt. Do check it out, they are really amazing

Daily Dose of Imagery is a photoblog by Sam Javanrouh, a Canada based Iranian. He takes a photo every day when walking or cycling to or from work. All his photos are truly fantastic and help to take off the burden on a working day.

I really wanted to do this since I joined my present workplace...
There were interesting patterns in the seismic images taken of the earth's subsurface (to detect cavities, potentially for oil; very basic process in oil exploration)... and I wondered if a portrait could be made out of these seismic images... so here is my first attempt at making a seismic portrait of Jinnah, founder of Pakistan.

It was made using 17 tiles cut from a seismic image and fed to easyMosaic2005... the greyed areas were introduced by the software, they were necessary to bring out the features... maybe if someone spends more time on making better tiles for the seismic image, there will be no need for this greying
A print-out on A-4 sized paper looks pretty good
