As the first light of day breaks across the water, a soft mist rises, veiling the Lake Frank Jackson in quiet mystery. The trees, mirrored perfectly in the still surface, seem to float in another world. Captured just after dawn using exposure bracketing, this photograph embraces the beauty of calm, the warmth of sunrise, and the magic found in fleeting moments of stillness.
As dusk settles over the countryside, the sky roils with the energy of an approaching storm. Red and white light trails from passing vehicles streak across the frame, carving a path of motion through the stillness of the rural landscape.

When we reach the edge of the 15ème, the tracks slip quietly onto the mainline heading south, leaving wanderers to puzzle over how the trains once danced across the river. The unassuming Pont du Garigliano keeps its secret well—it stands where the far grander and more lyrical Viaduc d'Auteuil once spanned the Seine. Like its cousins, Pont Bir-Hakeim and Pont de Bercy, the Viaduc d'Auteuil carried its rail traffic with grace, its elevated arches a testament to engineering as art.
Paris, spared the full fury of London's Blitz, did not emerge unscathed. The shadow of war touched its skyline, and the Viaduc d'Auteuil fell—not from time, but from tragedy—as bombs aimed at the nearby Renault factory found their mark. And so, what once soared above the river now lingers only in memory, a ghostly echo in the city’s restless hum.

This mist-laden forest captures the fleeting moment between autumn’s final breath and winter’s quiet arrival. Golden larches stand alongside evergreens, their fading leaves a reminder of fall, while the encroaching fog hints at the cold stillness of winter. The complete silence in the air amplifies the sense of stillness, as the scene feels suspended in time—both transient and eternal. Duncan Rawlinson’s photograph beautifully conveys the timelessness of this transition, evoking a sense of quiet that stretches beyond the changing seasons.
