A high-angle photograph of a murky, silver-grey river surface. A light-colored wooden chair is partially submerged, its legs creating a sharp, geometric reflection in the still, metallic water. Tangled with the chair is a metal road signpost, its rectangular signs resting flat against the water's surface like industrial lily pads. Dark, skeletal tree branches frame the top and right edges, while the water itself has an opaque, heavy quality, suggesting a somber intersection of domestic life and environmental neglect.

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all, our most pleasing responsibility.” — Wendell Berry.
A discarded chair and a road sign in the water. I captured this as a report on pollution, but the image caught me instead.
