Margaret Falls

nobody@ipernity.com (striatic) — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 19:25:01 +0000

striatic has posted a doc:

Margaret Falls is named after the first white woman to see this impressive falls. The water originates at the top of Bastion Mountain that lies directly to the west, and follows a fault in the limestone. The spray of the falls keeps the vegetation moist and allows the mosses that adorn many of the cedars to survive.

My Dad is 100 Years Old

fun at the guy maddin retrospective.

i'm an enormous fan of the work of guy maddin, canadian filmmaker and masochistic genius.

so i was enormously overjoyed when metro cinema held a retrospective of maddin's work the week before last.

so overjoyed, in fact, that i went to every screening. most of the films i had seen before on DVD, but maddin's films really demand a theatrical treatment more than most.

here's isabella Rossellini in "My Dad is 100 Years Old", which is very good but not as good as "The Heart of the World", another short.

my favourite guy maddin film is "The Saddest Music in the World", which is absolutely hilarious and tragic. i cannot recommend this film strenuously enough.

this is the sign in the parking lot of the convenience block in my childhood neighborhood.

they haven't changed the sign in a couple decades, it seems.

i suppose this is meant to be the pick up zone.

though there seemed almost too many in too much variety for that.

felt like a showroom.

though i cannot imagine picking out a headstone in a parking lot.

after i took this, a lady from inside came out and asked me what the photos were for.

"just for me" i said.

well.

not just for me ; )

some modernist flourish at the central post office in edmonton.

"modernist flourish" may seem an oxymoron to some, but not to me.
