Lever de soleil sur le golfe du Bengale. Vue depuis chez moi.

I've lived right next to this beautiful building all my life but never made time to visit it. Decided to walk over at lunch time. It's the Chennai branch of the National Art Gallery.

J'ai vécu toute ma vie juste à côté de ce magnifique bâtiment, mais je n'avais jamais pris le temps de le visiter. J'ai décidé d'y aller à pied à l'heure du déjeuner. C'est la succursale de Chennai de la Galerie nationale d'art.

Saw a documentary on salt making in the UK.

Making salt in a cold country like the UK is wildly energy-intensive.

In India, all you need is a salt pan on a sunny flat. Energy cost is near zero.

So why does the UK still do this?

It makes makes no sense. People could shift to higher-value activities. Salt could be imported from warmer countries, with higher-value chemicals flowing back.

Both sides get richer. #Trade is not a zero-sum game.

Came across this channal with electro swing #music on YouTube. Apparently it's #AI generated (not sure) but absolutely love it.
