Evening was drawing in, and I was at last making my way back through the city—leaving behind Zurich’s centuries-old alleys for the steel and glass of its modern heart. But the day wasn’t quite done with me yet.
Crossing the same bridge where my black-and-white journey had begun, I glanced to my left and saw her: a solitary woman on a bench, gazing out across the River Limmat. Another misted bridge stood in the distance, spectral and still, just before the river opens into the Zürichsee.
Composition in Stillness
I paused.
She crossed her right leg over her left, shifting just enough to bring her face into perfect alignment with an arch beyond her. The scene had composed itself—I only needed to respond.
Swapping to a wider lens, I backed up against the opposite railing. Nine frames. The seventh held that quiet magic.
Soon after, thoughts turned to dinner. But this moment—this balance of solitude and space—was already the day’s final gift.
