Why isn't the full picture being posted?
I will update the post if you can find a high resolution variation of the full painting
I found a 2000x2000 via this page: https://tsjiess.net/2023/02/26/marius-van-dokkum/
Is that high res enough? It's tough to find something larger
That's fair, I'll see if I can find anything
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
This is strangely compelling as an image
Same for me. I can't even tell you why I find it fascinating, but I do find it fascinating.
It’s like if Norman Rockwell had no chill.
Rockwell-esque is a great way to capture it. Like one of the old Saturday Evening Post magazine.
Syd and Mackey's latest video on YouTube shows Mackey's 79 year old father competing in a mountiain bike race. https://youtu.be/-YGnoBC0I1o
Oma fietser completely ignored those shark teeth. She's zoomin' hard 'round that turn
Huh. I had never considered this, but in countries where they drive on the left, they must use their right arms to signal instead of the left!
?
On a bike you use the arm of whichever way you're going. Or do you stretch your left arm across your face when you're going right?
That is very incorrect. The hand signals are universal between bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, so you use the arm that you could stick out the window in a car. In places with left hand drive, you'd use your left arm. To indicate a left turn, you stick your arm straight out to the side. To indicate a right turn, you stick your arm out, but bend your elbow 90 degrees so your forearm is pointing straight up.
This is a Dutch artist, and a Dutch landscape. The Netherlands is a right-side driving country.
I guess your comment is true for car drivers sticking their arm out of a window, but for cyclists it really doesn't matter. You can use both arms to indicate direction.
In the United States you can use either arm, from the nhtsa website
