Before the mystery
It was very hot on the day we visited the missions and the cool shadows inside the church were a welcome change. We were there on Sunday, and mass was about to start (because even after all these centuries, the mission is still an active parish). So instead of going into the sanctuary, which would have been intrusive, I composed-and-waited (lessons provided by Sam Abell earlier this year) until the foyer was empty of people but full of objects and shadows and light. I think it was worth the wait.

Night’s Picnic
Nighttime gives the mundane parts of town new drama. And close-to-the-street picnic tables beside the rope factory become a mystery.

Quilt
There was laundry hanging on the line nearly everywhere we went in Nova Scotia. In this case, the quilt-laden clothesline and the house were sagging the same amount.

The usual pew
This made me happy: someone’s personal church cushion marking their place at church.
