Collective A collaboration of similar mindsA host of exhausted party plannersA reciprocity of ‘paid in kind’A consideration of impeccable manners A chasm of travellers drawn to the bridgeA flash of photographers clickingA silhouette of walkers atop of the ridgeA separation of anything sticking A moment of watchmakers checking the timeA wound of surgeons repairingA shout […]
