Don’t you recognize the scene? It’s the Battle of San Juan Hill — July 1, 1898. Criminy, they don’t teach kids anything in school these days! It was this battle, among others in Cuba, that led to the development of the 1903 Springfield rifle, as the Krag-Jørgensen proved (as you can see in the picture) to have an inadequate rate of fire compared to the Spaniards’ Mausers.

This excellent true to life image from history has been attributed to deviantART user Matthew McKeown.

A deviant artist nicknamed ULiveandYouBurn turned roadside traffic safety barrels into monsters and alligators, but is it art or vandalism?

Sometimes there’s a fine line between art and vandalism. Blurring that line is Raleigh, North Carolina-based ULiveandYouBurn (nickname used to protect his identity). Part Urban Explorer, part fine-art photographer and social critic, ULiveandYouBurn is constantly pushing the boundaries of acceptable art.

As an Urban Explorer, he’s traveled into many closed-off areas including construction sites, abandoned buildings, and mine shafts, and he’s climbed his share of dizzying construction cranes.
