Persistence of Playfulness in Pakistan and Sweden, even

One has only to click randomly through this amazing collection of Peter Grant's photos of Pakistan's Decorated Vehicles to gain all the reassurance one needs of the persistence of playfulness in the human spirit. Outside of the poppy fields, that is.

In case further reassurance is needed, one might consider chilling one's fevered brow in Grant's collection of photos of Sweden's Icehotel.

Grant's photography is certainly not limited to these specific wonders, but it is in these two photographic essays that he most clearly captures the lengths and depths our fellow beings are able to reach in celebration of the unnecessary.

Thanks for this find go to the insatiable playfulness of Pat Kane.
