Color photo. A heavily rusted eye bolt being held upright, the fingers the only part of the holding hand visible. Through the eye of the bolt bright sunlight streams.

Walking along the beach at sunset recently and felt a thunk as my toe encountered something heavy in the sand.  “That didn’t feel like a rock,” I thought, before I even looked down.  At first glance it looked like something gnarled and wooden, but the shape was… odd.  Bending down to retrieve it I realized it was an old eye bolt, corroded by time, sea, and salt.

I immediately know what to do with it.

Color photo. A beach at the bottom of the frame, in darkness. Dark blue water at mid-frame. Mountains are visible on the far side of the water. The sun is low in the sky, and there is a bright trail of reflected light on the water. The silhouettes of two people on the beach stand out against this bright path.

Black and white photo. Multiple train tracks, brightly reflecting against a darkened ground, go up through the frame, curving around to the left at the top, where they merge and disappear.
