Photographing Emptiness
The Electric Towers Near the Memorial Bridge
As you approach them the electrical towers seem to lose reality in some way; the size is unexpected, and the proportions seem askew. When I saw the chair and hubcap, I thought they seemed like miniatures. I needed to make my way through the underbrush to stand next to it.
The Tree Fort by the Memorial Bridge
Recently I posted a photo of this tree fort on a sunny day, but early this morning there was a fog warning and I rushed down the the inlet where I knew the fog would be thick. I took several photos of forts built along the railway track, but this one, with the bridge in the background, was my favourite.
Behind the Curtain
Behind the trees, two bridges, three train tracks, arriving ships and local traffic. Still, the trees are full of songbirds and common sparrows.
