Josef Hoflehner's Jet Airliners

There's an airport in St. Maarten (SXM) that's famous for how close it is to the beach. Josef Hoflehner's got some spectacular shots of the planes coming and going.

You can view the whole series on Hoflehner's site.

For those of you who think these may be faked, or collages, here's an extraordinary vid of one landing (posted 9 years ago, so pre-mainstream-AI):

On Youtube you can also find vids of tourists intentionally standing behind the planes in order to be propelled by their exhausts during takeoff.


Solaris Book Covers

Stanislaw Lem's novel Solaris has been made into two films, one by Andrai Tarkovsky and the other by Stephen Soderbergh. Honestly, I cannot stand either one (though the Cliff Martinez score for the Soderbergh film is delightful).

The novel has been published in numerous languages in dozes of editions. The Hype & Hyper site has cataloged a ton of them. Wonderful to see how one title can inspire so many different interpretations.
