Surreal Gondola on Sapporo Ski Slope at Dusk

by Louise Taylor

A Venetian gondola floats suspended above a groomed ski slope in late spring, its black hull contrasting against the pale, snow-dusted grass. Low-hanging clouds press down on the scene as early evening shadows stretch unnaturally toward the faint rim light on the horizon, defying the sun's position. Passengers sit quietly in the boat, their forms sharp against the deep shadow of the slope. The water of the canal is absent, replaced by the textured tracks of the ski run, yet the gondola moves as if gliding on liquid. The impossible geometry of the light creates a dissonant rhythm, with dark beams pointing directly at the glowing sky. One shadow edge aligns perfectly with the boat's prow.
