Taken by Candia Dixon-Stuart as he left the NGV, Melbourne, Victoria.
Actually, he then took a photo of me taking one of him and he posted
it on his blog that evening (2015/2016)
I find the blacked out presence in the middle photo foreboding. He is so brave.
New book out.
In this photo I think I captured the tripod hood that the professional
photographer had been using for a photo shoot. It reminded me that
Ai Wei Wei had been seized and a black hood placed over his head.

… ‘all alone and feeling blue,’ according to the song!
Not really a Brocken Spectre.

black mood patient endurance anguished thoughts
dashed hope
groundless expectation tunnel light silver lining?
suppressed frustration
wry smile forced laughter gnawing jealousy
daily grind
scarce empathy
gritted teeth
voluntary solitude
brittle persona
crushed spirit
low ebb
arrested development
black tunnel anguished grind daily endurance
groundless jealousy?

Guys, I am having to re-size my photos as the images are too big for WordPress
now that I am near to full capacity!
Wanted to do this walk for ages but it can be too muddy. This week was fine.

Heard the wind rustling or rushing through the leaves. Now I know why the valley has that name.
