The old lady on her clothing, the building and the railing could all together have done the job asked for the brief. But what fascinates me the most is the lady’s gesture of peeking through the door and how come that common action keeps making me doubt the accuracy of the exif information that says this was taken in... 2016!

We can easily travel in time by looking at this, but the presence of someone calmly reading a print newspaper adds to the journey. I suppose this is pretty much the same scene we would have find here 40 or 50 years ago. Except for the frown lines, the sparse white hair and the reading glasses.

A scene from the past or from the future? This moment has been, and will keep being, the same for many years.
If this was taken 40 year ago, the railing would look slightly shinier. If this was to be taken 40 year from now, the railing will look even shinier (too rusty, needed to be renewed in the meantime). Everything else - the rocks, the sea, the sky, even the stairs – have been, and will remain the same. The lady? Well, the lady looks now the same as she looked 40 years ago, and will look the very same 40 year from now. That’s what this invigorating diary swim is all about, isn’t it?
