There was a small fish and chips place across from where someone had painted an artwork on the wall of a house, I watched the tall man watering the whole city, while eating, before walking on.

Slow afternoon drying gear in the sun, sketching and drinking coffee
Dj00048 The light in the dark
The streets are empty and no shops, cafes' or pubs have survived here... it seems. Then as I pass by the old churchyard I spot a small creature moving towards me.
Dj00047 Shop along the path
As the rain approached I spotted a shop further down along the road I was following, perfect timing, I could get a snack, make tea, and watch the rain from a sheltered space with benches...

The rain was still falling, I had my backpack ready and a cup of coffee in my hand there in the orange couch

I could hear the cars from far away, and as I crossed the river of fast driving vehicles I realized how alone I was on foot up there.
