You don’t always have to drive somewhere. After work I took the camera for a walk, a short way from home, where a watermill has stood on the Dommel for centuries. You won’t see the mill in these photos. You’ll see what was along the way: a horse, a cat, signs on a fence, a wrench in the grass and water where the light was going out.
