odditiesoflife: The Hanging Coffins of Sagada The people of Sagada in the Philippines follow a unique burial ritual. The elderly carve their own coffins out of hollowed logs. If they are too weak or ill, their families prepare their coffins instead. The dead are placed inside their coffins (sometimes breaking their bones in the process of fitting them in), and the coffins are brought to a cave for burial. Instead of being placed into the ground, the coffins are hung either inside the caves or on the face of the cliffs, near the hanging coffins of their ancestors. The Sagada people have been practicing such burials for over 2,000 years and some of the coffins are well over a century old.

The Hanging Coffins of Sagada

The people of Sagada in the Philippines follow a unique burial ritual. The elderly carve their own coffins out of hollowed logs. If they are too weak or ill, their families prepare their coffins instead. The dead are placed inside their coffins (sometimes breaking their bones in the process of fitting them in), and the coffins are brought to a cave for burial.

Instead of being placed into the ground, the coffins are hung either inside the caves or on the face of the cliffs, near the hanging coffins of their ancestors. The Sagada people have been practicing such burials for over 2,000 years and some of the coffins are well over a century old.

slightly-bovverd: crimson-thunder: malunis: Seiji Takakiwa - The body of thousand heroes. This guy is a suit actor for many of Toei’s more popular tokusatsu.  In the Super Sentai series he did the suit acting for Dragon Ranger (near end), Ninja Red, Mega Blue, Ginga Red, Go Red, Time Red and Magi Red.  In Kamen Rider he was nearly every main Rider of the current era! With the exception of Kuuga and Hibiki, he played Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O (all forms), Kiva, Decade, Double, Os, Fourze, Wizard AND will likely be the next Rider.  This man has a lot of experience and talent, so much so that people he works with have been known to praise him. In a stage show interview for Den-O, all of the Imagins’ suit actors talked about their character movements, and revealed that since Takaiwa played Den-O, he had to copy ALL of them for the fights, and did it so well.  In the Fourze net movies, the other staff members, during an interview section, constantly gave him praise and astonishment for what he can bring to the table, especially given the limited vision he has to work with on these helmets.  He also has a nice hat.  He’s been working for over 20 years, OVER 20 YEARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS He was all of Den-O’s forms???? holy shittttt

batchix: madamekockout: adventuretimegrabyourdog: This is my ruler and notepad tattoo. I believe that tattoos can be used for functionality as well as memory. I’m a designer, so I use the ruler for buttons, zippers, and trim widths. Usually the notepad has an address or to-do list on it. :)  You know what, this is actually fucking genius. Casually check your grocery list on your arm, written neatly. Okay, so this is a serious consideration for me.

odditiesoflife: Slot Canyons of the American Southwest Few places on Earth have such beauty and mystique on an intimate scale as the delicately sculptured and colored slot canyons of the American Southwest. There are thousands of scenic canyons in this region but most are relatively wide; in contrast, slot canyons have vertical walls and may be hundreds of feet deep but only a few feet wide. The general rock is sandstone, in various shades of red and orange; it is sunlight, shining down and reflecting along the canyon walls that gives the canyons their special beauty; the shadows and colors change constantly as the sun moves overhead.
