Still water

A windless morning, when the waterfront doubled itself in the water.

The water was so still that morning that the far side stopped being a reflection and became a second row of buildings, slightly out of focus.

Two frames from the same quay, a minute apart: one close enough to count the balconies, one with enough water in front of the houses to show how still the morning was.

A row of ochre and yellow apartment blocks along a stone quay, seen across a broad expanse of still water that mirrors them, a low white pavilion at the right and bare trees between the buildings.
