I went to my iPhoto archive and the photos were not there. But just hours ago I had been admiring my shots of industrial railway sidings, litter strewn, snowy berlin. I had started across the field out the back of my house, followed a bridge and then an aqueduct- crossed a railway track and taken some daring shots while I was at it, the railway was in use by Cold War style mega-trains the amazing assortments and variations on the colour black was astounding. The snow was falling and the amazing light and fleeting patterns of grey and slashes of black cloud on an overcast canvas made for an excellent shot of railway tracks in perceptive, a dull arc of a bridge cold as the bitter wind which blew snow drifts in alternating directions. I watched the trains take similar alternating tracks, mmh mathematical. A whole roll of film. Lost.

Or rather- they were never taken, I dreamed the whole thing… what a let down. I’m going to Milan next weekend, anyone been? Where should we avoid if looking for interesting snaps? & then Berlin is next.
