Imagine...imagine you are an astronaut...in a shiny titanium rocket...who has just landed on another planet. The first visitor from another world. The first explorer of your kind. You walk through the dust of the red planet as you approach a small extraterrestrial village. And there they wait for you, the blue people - beautiful, savage and wild. And here you will introduce yourself and bring gifts. What will be your first words? What emotions will you experience? Will you survive the first five minutes of this encounter? What is the statistical life span of a star traveller? How now, Nathaniel York?
Fear. Curiosity. Apprehension. Exhilaration. The complex range of emotions experienced by both the anonymous onlooker and the aliens from another world. And in this moment of shared sensations and wonder, the realization that all life is connected through invisible threads of shared humanity. The same fears. The same hopes.
Loosely inspired by the short story 'Ylla' by Ray Bradbury, published in 'The Martian Chronicles' (1950). I first picked up this book when I was a teenager, back in the days when I kept live trilobites in my bathtub. This book never let me go. Such a fantastic read. Beautiful, entertaining, lyrical - and profound.
Alien romance, drama, premonition, tension, fear, jealousy, crime, symbolism and xenophobia - this story has it all. And at the end of each paragraph, as we get pulled deeper into the story, we feel reminded of Planet Earth, every step along the way. Bradbury is holding up a mirror to ourselves.
This story is deeply personal for me. I have been a life-long explorer. I also have been "the Martian". The two are interchangeable. I know both perspectives. And what I have learned: despite major differences in cultures and religion, if we can just find time to sit down, share a hot drink and talk a little, we find that we are actually not that different from each other after all. The same hopes, the same fears. All over the globe. And perhaps beyond.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!
Kicking off Spring Break 2024 overseas in Belgium for an engineering trip, and have gotten the chance to get a couple of glimpses of the rail ops around the area here and there over the last few days. A Belgian Intercity Class 96 on the IC 3 pulls into Leuven station alongside a stopped Class 08 on the parallel platform. Excited to get the chance to finally document some action on the European rail network, hope to get some more shots before the end! (3/9/2024).
