A counter reason of what makes that page so wonderful. It is a fantastic illustration of progressive enhancement web design. meaning that while You get all that graphical stuff? I, in my lower graphics browser, Lynx in this case, get text of the article, and wonderful alt-tag descriptions of the images..no zoom messiness. I wonder if You view the page in a mobile browser if the simplicity of that design shows through. Honestly, its an amazing example of letting the tool decide what the user deals with. Next level by building a page for the broadest tools possible. Need to toss someone some flowers. Karen On Thu, 4 Apr 2024, Gron Arthur via talk wrote:
Am I a curmudgeon? I find that it is too distracting, and takes away from the content. It becomes hard to focus on the facts of the story.

Nice. Thanks for the pointer.
The first one like this I was was from The Guardian.

CBC has a story up today (about "Buried rivers flow under Canadian cities...").
Discover where ancient rivers flow under Canadian cities | CBC News
Ancient rivers once nourished and protected the lands where we built our biggest cities. Now, they’re buried underground. Is it finally time to let them see daylight?

The design of this page is outstanding! A lot of parallax effects, things fade between section, gentle rotation zoom effects, videos,...
I've seen similar on BBC in the past, but even then, this is next-level web page design.
I highly recommend scrolling through it, if for simply marvelling at the presentation. It's as beautiful as any web design can be.
