Notes from an abandoned railway line

The forecast promised rain, so naturally I headed to an abandoned railway line. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

A light drizzle started around ten. I sheltered under a bus stop roof and photographed people hurrying past. I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway.

Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops. I sat on a bench for almost an hour, just watching morning markets change as the clouds moved.

The full set of photos will go into the archive once the film comes back from the lab.
