As snowy mountains move through the corridors of Cumbernauld, a woman’s 40th birthday is taking place, in the Grand Canyon? The horses are jumping, and the horses are jumping. While cars in Poland drive so fast that they end up in a Swimming Fun Land in Sweden, the ski jumper from Austria lands upon a leaf, which is resting on yet another tree top.

The Hour did not expect to be so surprised by its own images. The Hour looked at the dancing lights and caught glimpses of its past, present and future on the walls. The pictures were singing. The Hour listened to their song and dreamt crystal vistas of possibility. The treacherous path ahead was momentarily illuminated. All grand designs were drawn over before the mountains were born. The Hour continues its holy pilgrimage to worship at the Temple of Failure.
