...games and a tradition they called the sing-down, where each team is given a word and has to come up with songs that feature it. Winblad remembers Gates disappearing on a dark beach after his group had been given the word sea, and then slowly emerging from the mist singing a high-pitched solo of Puff, the Magic Dragon...

Grasses reflected in water, as in his early picture Detroit, look like not fully legible scribbles of some force behind creation.
