Giant Frog Leaps Traffic - Neatorama

It’s a real-life game of Frogger! It must already be one of the higher levels -look at how thick the traffic is. If this frog doesn’t make it across, there’s going to be a real mess. But if you look closer, you’ll see the frog is on the windshield. The driver just needs to turn on his defrogger. -via reddit

Interesting. Sort of like what were called 'hanging miniatures,' or even matte paintings on glass. As long as the camera doesn't move, but only rotates about itself (pans or tilts) or zooms with a zoom lens that frog will appear locked to the background. If the camera moves, however, the close frog will appear to slip with respect to the more distant background and the illusion will be lost. That's how the camera was able to tilt up and down to follow Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as they jumped off that high cliff, even though the cliff was a painting on glass close to the camera and the jump location was actually around Malibu.

I hope that giant frog doesn't crash into any cars. Then the cars might have to get toad.

that's actually rather cute. and to think they are civil enough not to poop in the station. we humans should be ashamed of ourselves for littering everywhere.

Soviet Times? Is that like the New York Times?

Cute. But, (with a disclaimer that I am not saying all people in Russia are like this) I do find it a bit sad that some of the people seem to tolerate and even enjoy the presence of animals, more so than they would humans of different races/ethnicities/sexualities.

Now off my high horse.

Awww.
If they want to control their feral dog population, they could adopt a program to capture and neuter/spay as many of the dogs as they can.
Also educate people about doing that to pets and not releasing them in to the wild when they're no longer wanted.

@ LisaL
I glanced past your comment really quickly and thought you said they should capture and neuter spy dogs...that would be a very interesting comment about dogs in the USSR.

When I lived in Archangel in North Russia the stray dogs were not cute. I had to take the taxi if I bought roasted chicken, because the stray dogs would attack my groceries if walked home.

Couldn't take the bus, cause there were stray dogs in the bus... not really. I hate dogs

I can tell you that there is much life in the Moscow Metro lines. They are very deep, and so stay warm in the Winter.

And I have to say that many stations are quite beautiful, as well.

Smart dogs, they do Laika proud.

That's so much better than pigeons.

They do the same in Buenos Aires. I am not sure they use the metro for a ride downtown but they use it to keep warm in the winter. Normally, people do not mind and they let them have their nap in peace...

Yes, but there are 35,000 stray dogs in Moscow, how are you going to do that? Only 500 live in subway stations, and of them, only 20 ride the trains. A few even take the escalators. Above ground they have been seen crossing the street with the signals.
