Sydney Driftwood at Flat Noon Light in in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Sydney Driftwood at Flat Noon Light

by Colette Little

Under the flat, unforgiving noon light of a Sydney terrace, a weathered wooden balcony rail holds a single, frayed piece of driftwood, its pale, salt-bleached surface stark against the dark timber. The wood leans casually against a rusted iron baluster, catching no shadows, just a uniform, washed-out brightness. Below, the street is a blur of heat haze and distant traffic, but up here, the driftwood stands as a solitary, textured anchor. A white curtain lifts slightly in an open window behind it, revealing a glimpse of a dim, cool interior, a sharp contrast to the blinding exterior.
