Cover Up

A trip to the beach reveals that more and more people are taking sun damage seriously, perhaps too seriously. In a return to the Victorian (no, not Victoria's Secret) era children are routinely smothered in more clothing that they would wear to school or church. I have always admired Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's tenet that "Less is More" and nowhere more so than at the beach.

Then again, this morning I had to appreciate the elegance of a parasol for a stroll down the beach.
