When I saw these oil rigs I was reminded of a scene from Harold and Maude. Harold has made Maude a gift, a pressed penny that says “Harold Loves Maude.” They sit among the oil rigs, overlooking the Pacific. Maude takes the gift, thanks Harold, and throws it into the water. She says, “So I’ll always know where to find it.”

Sometimes a few urban landscapes are worth taking. Silvercup, Queens, NY.
Artificial landscape. It’s very disturbing to watch animals in these tiny spaces. Still, they have a strange beauty, an otherness, other world feeing.
