Verticals

The masts and their reflections  caught my eye as I walked home. The town was quiet although it has been a busy weekend with the carnival and the jazz festival both taking place. These two former warehouses on the quay now house the yacht club and a cafe that will soon be putting up its shutters at the end of the summer season of crab sandwiches  and lobster salads. The little sailing boats will leave or be hauled out for the winter. Families will head home and children will start back at school. Summer holidays will become a memory and autumn days will lead up to Bonfire night and Christmas. It happens quicker every year.
