Canal Reflections - The Poetry of Photography #2
Canal's still mirror
shattered as ruckus of duck's
bickering breaks fast.

Canal Reflections
These pictures were taken this summer on a holiday on west Yorkshire. I had gone on a lone walk down the canal running through Hebden Bridge as my girlfriend scoured the charity shops in the town for bargains. Although I can handle an hour of shopping maximum, unless it is a big food market (love them), I much prefer to get out of town and observe natural processes or wildlife.
So as I walked down the canal in the quiet of the morning the sun was elusive, popping in and out from behind greying clouds. This caused me to reflect how the environment changed both visually and aesthetically with the change in light.
It was a beautifully meditative state of mind… which was rudely interrupted by a cacophony of ducks squabbling and causing a ruckus on the tow path next to the canal.
I have to be honest, this made me laugh as it reminded me that this idea that many new age ‘spiritual’ people have that nature is all serenity and peace, is as unfounded as thinking that nature is only conflict and chaos.
As with much in this world, nature is in constant flux between all states… and doesn’t give two quacks about my meditative morning stroll. It was from this experience that the Haiku above was born.
What is Haiku?
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that dates back to the 17th century. It consists of three lines with a total of 17 syllables, typically arranged in a 5-7-5 pattern. The brevity and simplicity of haiku make it a perfect medium for capturing fleeting moments and expressing profound emotions.
