This is not a
forever farewell, because I've actually come to really like this place. As part of a project for one of my classes this semester, I had to visit a nature spot of my choosing for an hour every week and write about it, answering particular prompts given by the professor and responding to that week's assigned readings. Our last week, naturally, the assignment was to say goodbye (or see you later) to our place. My way of doing that was to compile a bunch of video clips in the hopes of making a cinematographic composition (fingers crossed - oh, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out the previous ones I've made, "Heartsong" and "Cloudtree," on
my YouTube channel), and I happened to take some photos in between the video clips, so I wanted to share them.
(But first: there were some mini photoshoots in October and November round about the Crescent Moon Bay area/taken during my journeys there that I did not post, but now seems like the perfect time, no? So let's travel back in seasonal time.)
