The Carousel on Ice

For some winter fun, these Latvians made a functional carousel on a frozen lake. They used chainsaws to cut a circle out of the ice, then a foot-wide channel between that circle and the rest of the lake. A boat motor attached to one side of the circle provided propulsion, gently spinning the circle around and around. It looks like fun!

And please be sure to pay extra attention to the beautiful music by true genius Adrian Belew. He's one of those "ought to be a household name" guys. In addition to his own magnificent solo career he's played with David Bowie, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Talking Heads, Laurie Anderson, Joan Armatrading, and dozens of others I failed to remember in the past ten seconds. Piper marks his first foray into film scoring, and it's wonderful.
