Winter Solstice 2023


It was the best of times, 

it was the worst of times, 

it was the age of wisdom, 

it was the age of foolishness, 

it was the epoch of belief, 

it was the epoch of incredulity, 

it was the season of Light,

it was the season of Darkness, 

it was the spring of hope, 

it was the winter of despair. 

                                                                 

                                                                             Charles Dickens


This glowing orb is a nurdle, a pre-production plastic pellet, found on Kehoe Beach. Magnified 30x. It represents all of the above: best/worst, wisdom/foolishness, belief/incredulity, Light/Darkness, hope/despair.
