on a cold windy winter day.

The bus arrived… eventually…

(To be fair, the bus was actually running pretty much on time, but it surely did not seem that way in the wind and the cold.)

Indulge me, please, for my obsession with shadows and light. And why these? What a contrast they have with their rough, almost crude canvass.

Early November, 2019, at the Belmont Red Line CTA station. I may have been transferring to the Brown Line, but I have no more of a story to tell you except that I’ve grown fond of this image.

Anonymous graffito at Diversey station.

…And he carries the reminders
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out…

A detail from the ruinous mural on a CTA viaduct at Greenview & Sherwin. Is it an eye or is it a tire?

Fenced

Fenced

Photo by Roman.

‘But it is not your own Shire,’ said Gildor. ‘Others dwelt here before hobbits were; and others will dwell here again when hobbits are no more. The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out.’

— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
