The Big Picture covers the Victorian bush fires. Devastating… but beautiful, too. It was #23 that shocked me, seeing rivulets of metal on the ground that had melted out of someone’s wheels.

T-Mobile Advert Spoof Closes Train Station. Ha! That’s pretty brilliant. I mean, the original flash mob was brilliant. The copycat event that closed down the station later was lame.
