Resonance XXIII
If the sky is
clear, the sun has just set for the day and the light begins to
fade, water takes on a special glow, gathering all it can, the
transformation is a luminous liquid. To get this image I had to
wait for this time day and then wade out to the centre of one
of the concrete weirs to set up the tripod. The shot is taken
looking up the Water of the Leith is the Hocken building on the
right.

Above the weirs, on the leith Stream's Bank.....

Notes on the Education
of a New Zealand Poet
But the Leith Stream,
the last and only woman in the world
Lulling the dead sky in her arms,
sighing under bridge and over weir
down to the crab-wet harbour
had nothing at all to say |
