A Place of Darkness
Joseph Conrad - Heart of Dakrness, 1899
On an early morning the clear sunlit waters of a river showed up through the window of the plane I was flying with, over the Iberian Peninsula. Heart of Darkness and Marlow's full of symbolism description of the Congo river came back immediately to my mind. The scene was exactly how I always imagined it. Despite a thick morning mist which resulted in a dirty but intriguing look, I didn't missed the opportunity to convert it into a photograph.

entry description
"It had become a place of darkness. But there was in it one river especially, a mighty big river, that you could see on the map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country, and its tail lost in the depth of the land."Joseph Conrad - Heart of Dakrness, 1899
