    Great stuff, Jean Tinguely would be thrilled if he were still here.  The beach setting and some of the machines remind me of a Channel crossing my wife & I made long ago on the now discontinued Hovercraft.  At Dover, there were airline style gates (one for beer only), a harbor with a pier, etc.  At Calais, the big "low flying ferry ship" (52 cars, several hundred people) just glided up on the beach and plopped down next to the French immigration office (like a large lifeguard station).  Fifteen minutes later we were through immigration (twice I guess) headed back to Dover.

    Fascinating.
    Would make for quite a learning experiment trying to rig something like those in Carrara.
    Beautiful motion of those 'wings'.
