Siskar

Siskar: a loose row of seven grey poured dwellings along a cold grey shore in watercolour, wide gaps between them and the last one standing apart past the track's end, level white fog filling the upper third of the frame, moss-green mend seams, stippled hollows in the lee of each house.
SISKAR

the farthest east on the north sea

The end of the shore way. Past the last house there is only the shore.

You came along the shore from Hollim and the houses began before the track did. Siskar is a loose row, with ground between each house and the next that nobody has built on, and the last house stands well apart, past where the track gives out.

The fog comes in off the north sea here as it does at Hollim, and the houses wear their rime on that side. The gaps in the row are where the drift goes through.

The mends are moss, the one green on this shore. Below the last step the hollows are set in the lee of each house, where the drift does not reach, and what grows in them is what the rime leaves alone.

FrameA row drawn with gaps in it. Siskar is a loose row, and its last house stands well past the end of the track. ViewpointDrawn from above, as inhabited areas are.
