| In the golden hour... Côte-Saint-Luc, QC August 2025 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
There isn’t much to see, just a whole lot of uninspired late-20th-century brick and a shopping mall parking lot filled with abandoned grocery carts.
Yet just before the golden light is snuffed out for good, it paints the skies with an indescribably warm glow. The uninspired mortar above me comes alive as photons ending their 147 million kilometre journey bathe the tired surface in iridescent energy.
If magic has a visual, this may very well be it.
The show doesn’t last long, just barely enough for me to compose a few geometric frames before night officially arrives.
But it’s enough to remind me that old and tired can still be inspiring, and we only learn these lessons when we choose to look for them.
