Up and down the North Sea coast by train or car, from one university city to another: Aberdeen-Dundee-Edinburgh and back, crossing the River Tay at Dundee. Trips I have often made for work – sharing the scenery, filtered by a window, with the many daily commuters.
The same views, day after day, the same beaches – mostly deserted – early in the morning or at sunset. The great variation in the repetition of scenes that are always the same and yet always different, changing in response to light, to the seasons, to how the day has gone or what the night ahead holds in store.
I never cease to feel amazement and bewilderment at the infinity in these landscapes and at how small our wandering lives appear in comparison.
