This photo was taken during an unexpectedly flooded visit to Jericho Beach in during peak Covid. In many ways the world felt upside down and the sunset reflection in this flooded field felt strangely literal. Looking back at it now I can still feel that sense of uncertainty and and perhaps impending doom just past the horizon, out of sight and touch, but luckily there's a bench where you can sit and watch it all unfold in front of you. It also strikes me today that there's another Jericho halfway around the world square in the middle of the West Bank, one of the oldest cities in the world also facing uncertainty and perhaps impending doom just past the horizon. The world right now is upside down, with unspeakable suffering being served out live on social media for everyone to see, yet helpless to do anything but sit and watch as it unfolds. We make our own beds. We make our own hells. As above, so below.
