Empty bus shelter

A light in the darkness

It’s four minutes to midnight on Trafalgar Street on the east side of London.

It’s dark, deserted, and so silent the only thing I can hear is my heart beating in my head as I pull the car over and step outside into the cool, still air.

The bus shelters, one virtually every block, had caught my attention, oasis-like pools of light in the inky black shadows where no one dares to go.

The occasional bus passes by, but no one gets on or off. And if they ever did, I can’t imagine they’d ever want to stand inside one of these. Another pandemic reality.

Yet they still stand, ignored sentinels on a dark stretch devoid of life.

And so it felt right to capture the moment.

Because even after everyone’s moved on, there’s still a story waiting to be told. And sometimes you just have to stop the car late at night so you can be the one to bring it to life.
