Cold crisp afternoon
grey stone buildings bleached by a
sunken autumn sun.

Last stand
This stubborn Summer
reluctant to relinquish
its tenuous grip.

Urban sunset
The lowering sun
renders the urban landscape
insignificant.

Queens’ flight
In their millions
reminiscent of ash spewed

Summer
‘Make hay while the sun
shines’ carries great resonance

289. Stokes Croft, number 57
This, I think is probably the most difficult collaboration in Bristol to photograph. The work, dated 2009 is by 3Dom and Voyder and sits high above a local massage parlour. Charged with symbolism the piece depicts a figurine being held gently in large cupped hands, or even emanating from those hands. The earth and sun both contribute to the symbolism.
All around the piece is some ornate decoration that sets it off really nicely.
It is such a bugger to photograph though. In the summer there is a tree that makes the view pretty much impossible, and in the winter, the same tree is an obstacle. To avoid the tree, you have to advance closer to the base of the piece and then the angles are all a bit peculiar. This was the best I could do last Winter.
It is a lasting collaboration and has been left entirely alone.

The walk
On cobbled stones and
across the New Cut; the sun-

Warm
The long grey Winter
at last yields and tender warmth
fills my heart with joy.
