Calder Valley, June 2002

Shattered tooth majesty of a derelict mill. Flash of sunlight through broken cloud.

A bus disgorges Asian girls, slender in shalwaar-kameez. Streamers trailing, a flight of dragonflies comes laughing up the street.

Knuckled up fist of hill crouches. Summer here is brief.
