Suffolk Squares I: Yinyang (DSC01120)
Shingle Street, Suffolk, England, UK
On a remote stretch of the Suffolk coastline, by the River Ore, lies the tiny settlement of Shingle Street. It is an eerie, barren place which is almost entirely covered by small, round stones. At low tide, the percolation lagoons create endless photographic opportunities - and curves and contrasts abound as the light fades. Shingle Street often lends itself to moody, minimalist photographs but a colourful sunset and a mirror pool are ample compensation for fair weather. In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yīnyáng (lit. dark light) is used to describe how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world. Shingle Street is yinyang; dark shingle and light water, complimentary and interdependent.
