21 April 2012

Behind me, the steep path rising between chestnut, beech and olive trees until the limestone mountains take back their landscape. Below me, begun in the fits and starts of isolated farmhouses, the settlement gained momentum as the houses drew closer and rose higher before thinning out again at its lower edge. The broad flanks of the mountains flatten down until a wide coastal plain opens up in shades of green. Distant pools of water turn out to be stretched surfaces of polythene and rigid glass structures reflecting back the weak sunlight that fed the plants underneath. Furthest away, the sea.

08 September 2014

Insects sparked and buzzed from the path’s undergrowth; three crows spun and tumbled, reminders of how few chances there had been to record them. The boardwalk sagged in places, gaped where planks had rotted, was crushed by fallen trees to be clambered over or crawled under. The lake mirrored the mountains, shimmering them whenever its surface was brushed into wavelet moiré; the reeds next to the hide crackled with each rush. Peering frogs scattered wherever my hydrophone’s shadow cast over the pondweed; tinny effervescence from aquatic plants; stripes of sunshine that I had to be reminded of by Chiara’s photograph.
