dready art ‘the south coast journey’ – 30×30 – HD archival pigment print

the land rover is awaiting back-ordered parts and so have been thinking about it …

and in truth the journey we took yesterday was a journey in another car, not because the land rover can’t drive, but because we’re not with it, but it’s obviously with us, with me anyhow …

we passed through the town where my paternal grandmother was born and then turned left and down; we went through towns like junction and southfield … the land was dry and the sky blue …

we turned left again and down to a spot where the world fell steeply away to the sea …

there were goats (and little kittens) and dry brown grass and lignum vitae trees and logwood … the wispy sere smell of sunbaked dryness …

and then this black sand beach …

man’s (and woman’s) journey …
