I spied this fisherman on the beach at Pendine near Laugharne. At least, I assume he’s a fisherman, although I never saw him make any visible attempt to catch a fish.

As the tide swept in, he backed away from the waves. In fact, it was almost as though he was only pretending to fish, while surreptitiously awaiting the start of some momentous sea-borne event.

What do you think might be happening here?

Prague tram cr Judy DarleyThe politics of recent times has made many people dream of escape. This photo taken in Prague some years back shows a tram, taxi, cars and people crossing a bridge, which all seems suitably symbolic.

Imagine a scenario (there are plenty of real ones to draw from) where people leave a place en masse.

What might they be fleeing? Where will they go? And what will they find when they arrive?
