Terminus: Edgewood & Dekalb Avenue

"Oh sad Bodhidharma you were right
Everything we loved disappeared
Nobody in the chairs
Nobody in the books
Nobody in the rain"
~Long Island Chinese Poem Rain, Jack Kerouac
















Yesterday evening, after the rain, Vee and I went chasing rainbows and stormclouds. We parked on a bridge off of Edgewood that overlooks the rail lines on Dekalb. The dusk skies were drenched in a deep crimson west and lit with sporadic flashes of heat lightning... imagine the aerial battlefield of Milton's Paradise Lost if they were painted by J M W Turner, where the banks of clouds seem to be soaked with the blood of fallen angels and the boom of thundering celestial weapons spark across the dark horizon. A lot of the shots seem to be imbued with a certain graininess, I'm not sure if that's due to the ionization of the air or what... I'm not an expert, but it did render a lot of the photographs with a certain texture that ruined some shots (to be honest) but oddly redeemed others.

The entire set is collected over at my Flick Account. Enjoy.
