I remade a site that appears in the 2006 Australian TV series "H2O: Just Add Water" for like two seconds

mermaidmyths.com
the fictional mermaidmyths.com from S1E5 of H2O: Just Add Water it has some mermaid clipart on it and a bunch of random text from a newsletter from the 1990s recreation of the site Columbus reported that he saw three mermaids on his first voyage to the Americas. On January 4, 1493, according to Purchas, the admiral observed in his log that the female forms "rose high out of the sea, but were not as beautiful as they are represented." The creatures were probably dolphins or manatees, but Columbus, like other mariners of his day, was ready to see new marvels in every latitude. His mind was conditioned by medieval illustrations, fables, travelers' accounts, and astrological prophecies about unseen territories far beyond the familiar coastlines of Europe. The historian Arciniegas points out that Columbus's favorite book was Cardinal Pierre D'Ailly's Imago Mundi, a preposterous description of the unknown world by an early 15th century "new age" philosopher. If, as D'Ailly claimed, the lands of the "other hemisphere" were inhabited by giants, pygmies, dog-faced savages and Amazons, the seas around these could very likely teem with seductive creatures, half woman, half fish.

the train to Bielefeld is cancelled; probably because you can't run a train to somewhere that doesn't exist
A train station sign that says the RB61 to Bielefeld Hbf is cancelled in German.

Luna Park Cafe

Canon EOS 1N, lens not recorded
Kodak Portra 400
A photo of an empty corner booth in a cafe, surrounded by a window with a road outside of it. Most of the foreground is in shadow, and it's quite bright outside of the window. It just kind of has a moody vibe. The seats in the cushion are a green dyed leather sort of material. The floor is a green and white diagonal tile pattern.

Apple Visitor Center - Portrait - June 2024

Nikon Lite-Touch AF
Kodak Portra 400
Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED
A photo of a clean and dimly lit modernish brutalist staircase with clean curves at the corner of the hand rails, but otherwise entirely straight panels for the ceilings, walls, handrails, and floor. A photo looking down the outside of the Apple Visitor Center in the shade. The ground in the foreground is cement tiles, with metal slats halfway and three quarters of the way down the building. Above, is what appears to be wood paneling. At the end, is a tree, being lit by the golden evening sun. To the right of the frame parallelling the building, is a series of trees in the shade of the building. The wall to the left is glass panels, reflecting the trees on the right
