Hiroshi Watanabe :: Octopus, no date (although it doesn’t seem like a H. Watanabe picture it is credited as his all around the web. Nevertheless, a really lovely pic: the woman in silhouette seeming to be collecting shells, the quiet sea, the octopus hanging, drying in the foreground… it’s up to you to reckon them as good o bad omen) / Thanks to
