One Minute Park: I really, really enjoy this pure dead simple website. One Minute Park couldn't be more basic – click the link and you get transported to a full-screen video, in landscape, which lasts for exactly 60 seconds and which presents a delightfully, perfectly chill scene filmed in a local park somewhere in the world. That's it – after 60 seconds, the scene shifts to another park somewhere else on the planet. No more, no less, just small, evanescent windows into slices of quiet humanity. The first time that I tried it, I was instantly whisked away to Vondel Park in the heart of Amsterdam. Another time, I found myself back in Prospect Park, Brooklyn where I spent many joyful hours as a small child. Give it a spin.
