2008 Beijing Olympic Crossbones pictures - Had to do it. / Shadow placement could be better, otherwise interesting and different. / China finally decides to openly admit piracy issues... / Nice. I like the little accessories, ie. headband and voodoo doll, but I can't tell what the left earring is. (also good that the flames are not mirrored.)

Yeti Olympic Torch Relay pictures - The Olympic Torch Relay ("Voyage of Harmony") is now in the Himalayas. No unseemly protests here . At least, not human ones. / Love the composition, but Yeti brightness is a bit over overdone
