Galway grid at dusk

Power, radio and the last blue light over Galway.

Field note

The bit outside the frame.

There is a short part of the evening when all the practical machinery on the horizon turns into a drawing: poles, cables, radio towers and warning lights cut into the last of the blue.

It is not the postcard version of Galway, and that is why I like it. The frame is ordinary infrastructure made briefly strange—the quiet grid behind everything, still working as the daylight drains away.
