Double Intentions

Got up early again to go kayaking, launched at the Monsaraz jetty. Here, we've stopped to explore an old bit of road on a peninsula - you can see the road it used to be linked to on the far side, with the jetty to the left and a ridiculously huge motorhome, plus trailer! to the right. Monsaraz on the hill, and to the right, a digger demolishing an old house in a cloud of dust, that we've explored more than once (first time here) - wondering what will be built there...

A quote about photography that made me wonder, from Tod Papageorge:
To describe a place and yet at the same time reinvent it, is a double intention on the part of the photographer that we should be used to by now when we look at and think about photographs.

Definitely try to describe the places I live with my photos, but yes, guess I do reinvent, as in focusing only on what I love about those places.

Gratefuls:
- a nap, getting up early is a shock to the system, but I do want to take advantage of the cooler time of day
- Mike putting up more shade cloth
- the sand arriving for plastering the walls of the North Wing (the new name for the ex-carbuncle, as suggested by Jan); we like the irony of calling such a small room a Wing
