OCD DAILY - Issue #374

Welcome to the 374th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #374 highlights content from eight (8) Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ten (10) new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The @OCD nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

Our top nomination of the day is from @awakentolife

@awakentolife shares an interesting blog which is part of a series where he is documenting the reconstruction process of their war-ravaged house. He is working on Bathroom Renovations this time, and the process can be grueling and tiring but the outcome makes it worth it.

Our next nomination of the day is from @nunojesus

@nunojesus introduces the Auschwitz concentration camp built after the German invasion of Poland. His photos witness the sad history. We should learn from the lesson. Don’t let the same tragedy happen again.

Auschwitz-Birkenau - Poland

Our next nomination of the day is from @knightbjj

Eli demonstrates lots of varieties of Kimura - one of the most powerful arm lock. Different entries and finishes - very helpful video for all interested in martial arts, but also on his channel you can find shorter videos and quick examples how to takedown people on street easily.

Kimuras from Everywhere | The Double Wrist Lock Mini-Seminar

Our next nomination of the day is from @cogitecture

@Cogitecture took us to the beautiful Ise Grand Shrine in Japan. The large torii gates at the entrances shows the character of this shrine which is normally the traditionally used red/orange colour. @Cogitecture continued to show us around the shrine, giving us a nice history of the place and what they thought about the visit.

Summer Vacation in Japan #2: Ise Grand Shrine

Our next nomination of the day is from @berien

Berien is describing himself as a Self-Imaginary-Universe Explorer and that is exactly what he is doing through the worlds he is creating in his art. Creating process is the exploration and learning of how to will these worlds into the reality for him. In this post he describes both triumphs and failures in the painting creation process. Even failures serve their purpose as stepping stones to improvement in paintings to come. There is always slight fear as well in the experimentation of course. What if this next addition ruins it completely? You never know, if you never try, but @berien is willing to take risks and explore where the next brush stroke will take him.

Once upon a time: A Journey into the Blue

Our next nomination of the day is from @dkkarolien

@dkkarolien introduces us the small island where she lives, Mauritius. She shares photos and some trivia about this island. They have beautiful beaches! No wonder it’s a common tourist spot for South Africans!

Geography101 - Mauritius

Our next nomination of the day is from @takeru255

Pineapple seems like an exotic plant to me. I'm guessing it would grow here but it takes soooo much water. @Takeru255 has a Pineapple plant that he planted in his backyard! Here he shows us 6 weeks of progress.
