Ephraim Loy is a third year student from Singapore Management University and got to know about the World Wide Rave from his Digital Media Prof Michael Netzley. He sends us a few shots on campus and the nearby Singapore Art Museum.
This photo is of Ephraim at a prominent Bodhi tree on campus. "It is said that Buddha gained enlightenment while meditating under the tree," Ephraim says. Other shots of the tree and another of a prominent sculpture at the Singapore Art Museum can be seen on his blog. "Both photos represent items which are special to Singapore: religion and art," he says.
Paul Baiguerra shot this in Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. He just moved to this wonderful place from Melbourne.
Paul is head of content at PABA Media, a Digital Strategy and Content Creation agency. "This was taken at a local dog beach in at a place called Sorrento just after Bailey and I had been for a swim," Paul says. "It's busy here this time of year and lots of people were staring at the strange man holding up a poster."
The Haka is the traditional dance of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks, perform a traditional Haka war chant prior to each match. In the rugby world, the All Blacks performing the Haka is definitely a World Wide Rave. I've seen this at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens and can confirm that it scares the crap out of the other teams.
Check out the All Blacks version of the Haka here.
Thanks to The Barefoot Hawaiian for the photo.
Mark Gladding, Founder of Tumbywood Software shot this photo in Melbourne, Australia. The building in the background is Flinders St Station, arguably Melbourne’s most iconic building. Melbourne is one of the cool cities of the world that still use trams as a means of public transport.
It's been a while since I've been to Melbourne, but I recall that after a few VBs (Victoria Bitters) my outlook on life would be delightfully skewed, just like this great photo.
