Wood and Stone
I was standing next to the creek that flows under this railroad bridge, taking pictures of old trees, sparse winter canopies, intensely reflected-blue water, and other beautiful things, when I glanced over toward these rocks and found the antidote to pretty: stone and wood.
Seemed worth a photograph, and looks best as a stark black and white.
Sony A1, with Zeiss 21mm Biogon lens. This is the first image I’ve taken with this Biogon that is on the same level as my best images taken with the Hasselblad SWC camera. The solid, tumble-down, starkly contrasted masses just tickle my sense of wrack and ruin, and the inevitability thereof for all human-made things.
Even so: it has a feel of repose, as if kings and paupers alike could sit here and understand: time moves further than we do in this world.
