Swimming in York.

Today I will be mostly watching the York webcam

It’s one still picture every four seconds is strangely mesmeric. Oh there’s a white van, oh there it’s gone, that sort of thing. What you see today is largely water and a red semicircle which is not the sun rising in a strange place, it’s the top half of a No Parking sign that’s about eight feet above the pavement that’s normally full of tables and chairs and beer drinkers. That’s one hell of a lot of water and for the second time this year. It makes me wonder if all the 3D CGI films aren’t missing a trick. One still every four seconds somehow captures my attention more than super fast high definition. It gives me time to dwell over each image, look around it to see what’s changed. It’s like being informed more by less information, which seems a contradiction. Anyway York is up to its neck so lets hope we have a change in the weather.
