Last week I went to a municipal park that abuts the Intracoastal Canal.20260311_150507(1).jpg

A few yards from this sign was a small inlet meant to be used as a boat launching site, with a large No Swimming Allowed sign. Naturally, there was a man in swim trunks standing shin deep in the water talking on his cell phone.

Another shot from Damnation (1988) by Béla Tarr, who died in January. The incredible cinematography is by Gábor Medvigy (1957-2023).

For people who really like Peter Gabriel and want to spend ~$30 for an LP, here's something possibly of interest.  It's modestly entertainment, and if the technique could be used on a more interesting album, I might buy one.
