A short by Jake Wegesin about ‘things that make life worth living’. To wit:

Jatayu Down

A vast bird sculpture sprawls on a mountaintop at the 65 acre environmental tourist destination of Jatayu Earth’s Centre at Kerala in India. The centre is a collaboration between the Tourism Department of Kerala and film director Rajiv Anchal. The bird is the stuff of legend.To wit:
Based on the epic story of Ramayana, Jatayu is a noble bird of divine origin who lost his wing and fell while fighting to protect a young woman named Sitha. The bird as recreated in concrete at the Center is 200 feet long, 150 feet wide, and 70 feet tall, with stylized feathers and enormous curled claws.

An extraordinarily complex, hand-cranked conveyer belt that uses the rattle and shuffle of its mechanism along with the click and swish of 2000 cascading marbles to create notes and rhythms.
Built by Swedish musician Martin Molin, it’s actually just part of Marble Machine X – a much larger project he’s been working on since completing his first such contraption – the Wintergatan in 2016.

Behold: the Tesla Model P. Or rather, a pre-launch tease from the drawing board of Turkish auto designer Enre Husmen.
For now, pricing and specifications remain a mystery but the chunky electric truck will be launched formally later this year.

Behold: the 1973 Porsche 911 Targa 2.4S – from the last production year of this long nosed, narrow bumpered classic before safety regulations (in the US) forced a design change.
This particular model (which comes up for auction next month) has a custom Venezia leather and Bouclé wool interior including travel bag and driving shoes (you know you want them) by French ultra-luxury menswear designer Berluti.
Yours for around €225,000.
