(Telegraph) Cool Rice paddy art. Sure it's a slide show, but if they can plan and plant this and erect a tower to view it from, surely you can manage to move your mouse   (telegraph.co.uk) divider line 41

Worth it.

When submitting slide shows always start at the first slide!

Dun care about the slide show, or which slide it started on. This was pretty farking cool. Thanks subby!

I never understood the beef with slide shows anyway. Wasting crops, maybe. Slide shows are fine.

 
HMS_Blinkin 2009-11-21 02:00:07 PM  
That's really cool, slide show or not.

 
loonatic112358 2009-11-21 02:09:43 PM

I think a helicopter was the viewing platform, still some neat pictures that are worth a click-through.

The butterfly, frog, dragonfly, and beetle all look like the same field.

Thanks, autopager.

Web sites sometimes artificially increase their click counts by putting one article on multiple pages. This makes it difficult (next page)
-------------------------

to read these articles, and makes it difficult to load the pages at all if they get farked. it also (next page)

-----------------------------

(previous page) takes on a life of its own as web designers (next page)

---------------------

(previous page) continually keep upping their page count, trying to skim more money off the sites at the expense of the readers' time. We here on fark are generally trying not to reward such behaviour. (next page)

-------------------

(previous page) This leads to better web site navigation all around.

I'll admit, slideshows were the entire page reloads annoy the crap out of me.

But these were pretty darn cool.

/can't keep plants alive much less turn them into art

Here's some more pics, including some of what it looks like up close at the plants level (link pops, page in Japanese only, but big pics)

Slideshows are evil and anyone who disagrees is a farking idiot.

I don't speak moonspeak, so I have no idea what it says. But that was cool. Thanks for the link.

 
Big Red Al [TotalFark] 2009-11-21 03:45:40 PM  
Slideshows are bad....

Subbies who post slideshows not starting at the first slide are worse.

/Come on - sheesh

 
lordargent 2009-11-21 03:51:51 PM  
Thanks re-paginator

WTF? I have to learn Japanese now???

dlewis6: I never understood the beef with slide shows anyway. Wasting crops, maybe.

No crops are being wasted here. They are just planting different varieties of rice that have different colored leaves to make the art.

Well, now we know where all of those farm subsidies the Japanese government hands out are going...

 
femmemakita 2009-11-21 07:01:57 PM  
Oh, boohoo! Stop hating and complaining. This was cool!
Oh, yeah! This is Fark... O.K. you can keep complaining...

Hate slideshows. Like this one. Click it.

 
Mattyb710 [TotalFark] 2009-11-21 09:50:17 PM  
It's a good slideshow.

The fail comes from subby linking us the 4th slide.

Old news here in japan. But stool very cool. And don't call me Shirley.

Dammit. Stool = STILL
surely.

 
deanayer 2009-11-22 01:09:19 AM  
I dont know, every time I had to click the next button it was in a slightly different place on the page and that caused a lot of stress on my wrist. I think I caught that corporal tunnel syndrome just now and how is it art anyway if there arent any breasts in it?

tkirby's picture would be pretty at the Coliseum's 50-yard line with minor modifications.

 
Death of Rats 2009-11-22 03:04:26 PM  
Those crazy Japanese. Gotta love 'em. Neat crop art.

 
twfeline 2009-11-22 04:13:54 PM  
Heard about this a couple of years ago. Apparently it's an all-volunteer effort. Donated land. The harvested rice is sold to raise money for charity.
