After buying some stuff in the grocery store, I walked to the sea. There, on the stretch of coastline near the port ...
... I came across a highly decorative piece of garbage.
It was a plastic foil. One of those large ones that are used in agriculture. To cover the seeds or young plants.
The nearest large enough cabbage fields that use the foils are at least a kilometer or two from the port.
It was quite a journey from there to the sea.
The wind did a great job bringing us the foil ...
... and it continued that great job by making it flutter.
The thing looked very alive. Like some mysterious, alien life form.
It made me imagine surreal landscapes made of shimmering veils, with alien creatures camouflaged in that surreal environment.
Fragments of vegetation visible through the nylon looked great in the morning light.
Powered by the pretty cold wind ...
... the magic of garbage and light was created.
Only from a distance ...
... the thing looked more like normal garbage ...
... so I kept my focus on details ...
... to keep the magic alive.
I spent almost an hour around that tattered foil caught by the thorny branches of some small coastal tree.
It was a bit like traveling very far ...
... while being in the same place.
At some point, I felt hungry and decided to go home. The nylon was waving goodbye as I walked away.
Not far from there, just across the inlet, I saw a group of elegant birds that kind of resembled that foil ... but that's another story. This one ends here - THE END.
POST SCRIPTUM: The little snowy herons that you saw at the end of this post will appear in another post that I'll publish later in the Feathered Friends community. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs and GIFs made from some of those photographs are my work.
