Address for the embassies

Went out this morning, walked past the station and down a long road to find myself on Preston Road, past a car sales point with flying flags of blue and red, colours flapping in the rain, passed by and up towards Riley Road. Checked emails, spoke on the phone, and then left the house to Kemptown to visit a friend who gave me coffee. She made me feel good.

The tree opposite, with green spiked leaves erect and upright sits in collaboration with the building in the background. Jutting out at one corner is a quarter wheel set against the leaves. It brings an aesthetic tinge of shapes, an image caught in space.

A Californian pink building against the blue sky and the leaves of a palm tree, alongside some boulevard somewhere, white wooden shutters closed. A yellow crane gives a straight horizontal line. A structure. Mass collaboration of structures, open-ended exploration, always onwards, existing, moving, breathing, questionable.
