Musings about photography, and the occasional visual essay.

Quarantine Skies

A window, for fourteen days my only connection with the world other than screens of all sizes. Beyond the glass, non-descript construction, the hills. And then the sky, with its forever changing flux of weather and light conditions. 

Now that I’m packed and ready to leave the room which was my shell for two weeks, it’s time to look back and realize I might, perhaps, just look back with some strange affection to the show that kept me company.

Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, South Korea — Quarantine Day 8, 6:06pm

September 7 postscript: as it turns out, my window view in Seoul is now a vertical slash between high-rise buldings. Turns out I will indeed miss the view in Yongin. On the other hand, I can enjoy the sky from the streets now, and: it feel darn good to be able to leave one’s hotel room after all!
