High Contrast Grey.

A café that has replaced its barstools with swings hanging from the ceiling. Doll parts littered every aspect of this café, which seemed to be more of a bar when looking at the menu. Still had a nice children’s section though, as they were the bigger draw for the swings. Music from what sounded like the 30s played over the speaker system. Perfectly paired by the accordions hanging from the ceiling and on the wall. I took my leave of trying to fight the heat of the sun and got a tea, pulled out my watercolor painting, and began to sketch in books. The girl working the bar sported a flatcap and as she stood behind the bar with nothing to do she seemed to work on a crossword puzzle in the newspaper. An air of ennui that disappeared as she took orders for drinks. If this was an option to wander to everyday and work on my art I think I would quickly become one of the fixtures on the wall. If I ever owned a café…

A day trip to the beach. This sunny weather seems to have no end. We arrived at the hight of high tide, but as the water went out if unburried many things that we could only see hints of at the beginning. Like this pool, when we first saw it it was only some random stairs in the middle of the water. Then the water receeded and people arrived and it became a pool that retained the sea water.
