July

Over the water, into the water
Woman in a black slip dress on a stairway in golden light, wet strands at her face
Woman raising a hand against the low sun, cable shadows striping her face
Woman in gold evening light under the bridge girders, cable shadows raked across the wall
Woman at a red railing under a great red bridge, hand in her hair, evening sun on the water
Profile of a smiling woman on the bridge walkway, red arch and towers behind
Woman in a black dress at a red rail in the last direct sun, half of her already in shadow
Very close portrait at sunset, feathered earrings, eyes straight into the lens
Dusk portrait, wet strands on her shoulders, face lit by the afterglow
Close portrait of a laughing woman on the bridge at dusk, city lights coming on
The river at sunset from the bridge, a pleasure boat heading up the channel
Woman laughing with her head thrown back as she pulls off the dress at dusk
Silhouette of a woman wading into a still river at sunset among the weeds
Woman lying in dark water among lily pads, face turned to the sky
Woman with soaked hair at the water's edge, eyes lowered, the river dark behind
Wet hair curling over a bare shoulder at dusk, a river leaf stuck to the skin
Half-lit figure against the pale evening water, hand at her shoulder
Wild yellow flowers on the dark riverbank at nightfall
The river at nightfall through dark leaves, last colour on the water
Woman in black at the dusk river, tower lights on across the water
Close dusk portrait, city lights dissolved into coloured points behind her
Woman with wet curls under the lit span of the bridge at night
Woman on the bridge roadway at night, the lit arch curving away behind her
