Looking around a corner and seeing a bus shelter backlit by the rising sun, and a glistering river of light flowing down towards me.

ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS 43 – MORNING DEW, BACKLIT BY STREETLIGHT

 

 

.

Not that early as my mornings go, but dense low overcast overhead, far from being penetrated by the weak and still struggling sunrise.  And a car parked in the gloom, dark and covered in tiny pearls of dew, with its misted window catching the glow of a streetlight.  There’s really very little here, just a quiet moment after the end of a night in winter.

There was nothing to lean against to steady myself, and so to spot metering for the brightest part of the window >>> and the very capable TG-5 – just about! – holding things together at 100mm (equiv) telephoto and an exposure of 1/10 second at f4.9.

OUTER SUBURBS 306 – PAVEMENT AFTER RAIN

Out walking, and looking down – a gate’s shadow on a pavement, after rain.  

The pale linear structure towards upper right is the kerb along the pavement’s edge, and right of this is the road surface.

ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS 37 – MISTY MORNING

 

 

.
Misty early morning in the street, the people sleeping and the cars silent, dark and still >>> LOL! which is a very poor attempt at Dylan Thomas!!!  What about something from The Master himself then, from Under Milk Wood, very certainly one of my most favourite books in this whole world, and an endless source of both awe and inspiration:

Time passes.  Listen.  Time passes.

Come closer now.

Only you can hear the houses sleeping in the streets in the slow deep and silent black, bandaged night.

…

Only you can hear and see, behind the eyes of the sleepers, the movements and countries and mazes and colours and dismays and rainbows and tunes and wishes and flight and fall and despairs and big seas of their dreams.

OUTER SUBURBS 304 – WALKING THE STREETS AT NIGHT’S END (MONO)

 

 

.
Walking the misty, deserted streets at night’s end, listening to the silence, watching the foxes making for their daytime lairs, passing the stolid ranks of cold cars – and very much having the feeling of enjoying the very simple and uncomplicated moment, of being glad to be up and about … of seeing and savouring the world at the antisocial hours that only a few early joggers and dog walkers know.

OUTER SUBURBS 303 – DAWN BREAKING, LATE DECEMBER

 

 

.
Dawn breaking on Boxing Day, just after rain.

And almost invisible in the murk up to the left of the light – can you see it??? –  a large gull glides in above the rooftops, calling noisily to its companions in the dark sky as it starts its day above the suburbs, searching for the edible scraps and refuse that we have discarded.
