A little side project/work in progress working up ideas from my various visits to Shetland. This is Bressay Lighthouse (where I stayed from a month in 2017). The shape is inspired by the architecture of the Shetland Museum and Archive.

50 years ago, today, a whale exploded on an Oregon beach. 20 years later, before social media or video sharing sights or smartphones, it would become the first viral Internet video.
We sent it to each other in the mail.

My first whale video came in the form of a VHS tape mailed to me by a stranger from the internet.

Happy Exploding Whale Day to all who celebrate!🐳💥☔️
55 years ago today, the Oregon State Highway Division had a whale of a problem on its hands. How it solved it is the stuff of legends.
In other words: Happy Exploding Whale Day!
