Perched in time

Perched in time. 2020.

Five old pylons stand in a quiet stretch of water, their rough timber softened by the long exposure. A single bird has claimed the central post, pausing to stretch its wings while the tide smooths itself into a gentle blur around it. With almost no horizon and only the faintest hint of color, the photograph becomes less about place and more about a suspended moment, a small life balanced on the remains of something long left behind.
