Heroes Not Zombies

Sometimes something catches my eye and makes me smile. Usually it’s an unexpected juxtaposition of two things. I guess that’s how jokes work…they bring together two apparently unconnected things and they surprise you.

I had just stepped off this tram in Kyoto when I noticed the black and white photo on the wall. I couldn’t help seeing it as a virtual queue of people making their way onto the empty tram which would then depart, taking them with it.

I did wonder for a moment if I looked away, waited a moment, then looked back, whether I’d see a space where the tram had been and a photo of a landscape with no people visible.

I like these serendipities.
