Carpe your MF-ing diem, dude.
This isn’t a particularly good photograph &, without context, frankly looks a bit strange.
It’s the only shot I took, though.
Context: Late-afternoon, post-hike on the CCT. Stopped by a quiet old dive for a pint.
Realised I’d never seen it it so empty & when the barkeep was, ah, otherwise occupied … I snuck upstairs.
It’s like another world up there, with stained wood paneling & ornately carved pillars.
It also happens to be pitch dark, illuminated only by this skylight — an incongruous & completely separate entity from the repository of grotty tchotchkes downstairs.
‘You’re not supposed to be up here,’ somebody whispered from the shadows.
‘Just one shot,’ I replied, smiling into the darkness.
I’m so glad I took it. Even if it’s a lousy one.
