Eerie Premonition 1
Humility, Pause, Wake Up - I took this photo last week during an overnight stay in Sauble Beach, Ontario, Canada. My intent at the time was to capture 'something beautiful' that would support a blog post in the future. The silhouetted seagull is perched atop a building called The Trading Post - and I was staying in that Trading Post's loft. I returned home earlier this week, leaving my daughter behind with family friends - and the plan was to pick her up today at my friend's home.
Last night, The Trading Post was destroyed by fire. My daughter and friends are all safe - though everything they had with them has been destroyed. They are still there, collecting their thoughts and awaiting the Fire Marshall and police department's final verdict as to whether or not the building can be accessed and if perhaps SOMETHING of theirs can be retrieved.
I see this photo now differently. I see smoke coming, close but not yet there. And I see myself as the seagull - looking the wrong way, misinterpreting the scene before me and getting lost in the beauty.
