    Is that Ai Weiwei filling up another bag of his ’sunflower seeds’ for sale to gullible ‘art’ lovers?
    Quite a scoop you’ve got if it is

      I had not heard of him before. I often wonder why people fall for and spend so much money on these bizarre things…

      If I knew, maybe I would be rich? ;-)

      But there again who needs vast amounts of money to be rich :-)

    Great shot of this scooping guy, I got a shot of him from a different angle.
    It sure is a wonderful place to visit.
    I had seen the video of those hand-made sunflower-seeds. I roll my eyes and I wonder why I am not inventing those stupids things, may be my name is not interesting enough. How is it possible that people take him serious in the first place.

      It is a great place to visit, it has grown quite a bit since I last went there a few years ago.

      I think the fact that people take that type of art seriously says a lot about people.

    That museum looks really interesting.

    As for Ai Weiwei: I must admit I don’t care much for a lot of his art but the man deserves respect for his activism and attempts to speak his mind in China:-

      Yes he does have to be admired for his activism especially in such difficult circumstances. That is is a very interesting article, thanks for the link :-)

    My back hurts just thinking about those scoops!

    Things will be ‘magical’ next weekend at The Saturday PhotoHunt.
