Nice texture and mood photo, but I really like this one:

http://www.swsports.org/images/Dune_BW.jpg


I forgot to mention - those images are of the Nappatree Beach Dune
Restoration project - Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

When they first started the project 6 years ago, the dune I was
standing on top of didn't even exist - it was just a small mound.

Now, it's damn near forty feet high. In theory, they are moving right
down the beach with this project restoring them to what they used to
be 100 years ago.

It's working so far.

Ah - I don't think that line was in the book.

Or the movie now that I think about it.

Either movie.

Did you see either of the movies?

Personally, I liked the Lynch version a little better than the TV mini
movie.

Yeah, I've seen both. The TV version only once, but the Lynch version many
times. I'm a Lynch fan. I loved the Twin Peaks TV series. It was a
groundbreaker.

Never took to "Twin Peaks" - it got a little too weird for me and
that's saying something.

I do like Lynch's work though. A good friend of mine, Ross Ruediger
who lives in San Antonio, TX (writer, critic, editor and independant
film consultant) wrote and directed his own self-financed movie
"Ravenswan" which is very Lynchian in construct - big time Lynch fan.
He's good friends with Jackie Earl Haley who is playing Rorschach in
the upcoming "Watchmen" movie. They are both Lynch nuts.
