Tall Grass
We'll have boiled squid food.
Brooklyn, New York - October 20006
I biked from my apartment to the Gateway National Recreation area in Queens last fall. On the way back, I stopped for a break along the way, and noticed that the stretch of the Belt Parkway I was riding along was lined with a thick curtain of tall marsh grass, separating the highway and bike path from the hidden wetland behind. The air was briny and soft, in spite of the smell of exhaust, and the swishing and creeking of the grass in the wake of the passing cars reminded me of the sound of the bamboo blowing in the forests Tanja and I hiked in on Oahu a few years ago. For those few minutes, I felt like I was far away from Brooklyn.
Shot on Fuji Portra 400 with a Yashica Mat 124.
