Shooting Shadows

Daylight was going and the umber air
Soothing every creature on the earth,
Freeing them from their labours everywhere.

from Dante, quoted/translated in 'The Journey Back' by Seamus Heaney

Another waft of summer. On my way back from a poetry reading in Waterstones I noticed the light on Nassau Street. So I parked around the corner and went back to shoot some shadows.
