Winter’s White Noise
52 week photography project December
49 — Hard to Explain - So I made a photo
“Well, obviously there’s an airport close by!” Yes, obviously — but words alone can’t convey the unexpectedness of an airport bus sign pointing into the foliage. Only a photograph conveys the startling juxtaposition.
I was hiking between Cavtat and Čilipi in Croatia and had passed very few settlements on the way. So it was hard to imagine who would choose to take this hiking path (or ‘footway’) on their way to the airport. Especially with a wheely suitcase!
50 — White Noise
It’s December 2022 and I’m spending a week near the River Thames. There’s a big freeze, with no snow but lots of frost. Encrusted barbed wire, frozen willow branches and icy cobweb filaments (top photo). White noise for the eyes!
It didn’t stop people from paddleboarding down the Thames…
