River of Electricity

Maureen Shaughnessy

Stand there, baulked and dumb, stuttering and stammering, hissed and hooted, stand and strive, until, at last, rage draws out of thee that dream-power which every night shows thee is thine own; a power transcending all limit and privacy, and by virtue of which a man is the conductor of the whole river of electricity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Poet"

I shot the photos that make up this multi-exposure, this week, while walking in one of my usual gorgeous places. When I put this image in my set, Gesture Poems, I realized I had shot almost the exact same angle last winter in the same place. The sky, the lighting, everything was the same yet somehow the time that has passed between shootings, has changed it all for me.
