0190 - 2025.06 Alien Landscape 2

After the initial frisson of anticipation, the dark line seducing us into believing there was a structure, a city, an industry, something, we took a more rational approach.

We slowed, gained altitude. The sun too presented slightly differently from a higher vantage point, the shadows shorter, looking down through the haze, not through it.

There was nothing. Square shapes certainly. Trees. Rocks. Magma pipes. All of the above. None of the above.

The mind speculated.

The remains of a civilisation. Millenia old, overtaken by nature. We wish.

It’s an optical illusion.

We need to look elsewhere.
