Human in the LoopJonathan Harrell’s Commonplace Book

There is an old stone that still remembers
The salty, wet-moustached kiss of the sea,
Violent feather brush of white winged wind,
The copper-fleshed flare of the sun
In untempered jealousy.

A grassy hillside leading up to a tall stone wall of a castle or fortification. In the background, a section of the castle peeks above the hill, set against a cloudy, overcast sky.
A close-up of old cobblestone pavement, with patches of green moss and tiny plants growing between the stones. The texture and uneven surface of the weathered stones are prominent.
A golden sunset seen through the silhouette of trees, with the tops of rooftops and chimneys visible in the distance. The foreground is filled with ivy and foliage, softly illuminated by the fading sunlight.
A close-up of a glass window covered in large black graffiti, with light shining through from behind, highlighting the droplets of moisture and creating a wet, gritty texture. An orange light glows faintly in the background.
A night view looking up through an archway. The stone arch frames a dark, cloudy sky, and tree branches are faintly visible, illuminated by dim streetlights. A stone column stands near the edge of the frame, partially lit.
