human spirituality; consciousness.

Edge of town
The field between Nowa Iwiczna and Zgorzała is filling up with housing, new units are appearing each time I walk over there. This photo (click to enlarge) is from last Sunday; an azure sky, fading to midnite blue at the zenith thanks to the polarising filter that also whitened the snow. Low-voltage power lines and a rutty track converge at infinity. Crisp shadows from the sun that's getting stronger by the day. A brief moment of anomalously familiar memory; how could I have witnessed such a scene in my West London childhood? And yet I've had this feeling before. 1950s USA or Scandinavia; housing on an airbase in the far north - Alaska? Greenland?
