Lightning

Lightning, shortly before thunder.

Lightning never strikes the same place twice, because once struck, it isn’t the same place any more.

Fridge

A fridge, with its door closed and its light status unknown.

People open the fridge every few minutes in case new food has arrived; it has never once arrived.

Pink

Pink, photographed after calming down.

Pink is red that was told to calm down and, after a long sit in some white, mostly has.

Skyscraper

A skyscraper, not yet scraping.

No skyscraper has ever scraped the sky, so engineers redefined it as tall enough for the lift to have music.

Dew

Dew, found at the scene.

A lawn filmed for 300 nights showed a dry lawn, then a wet lawn, and in between, a lawn.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, photographed yesterday.

Tomorrow has never been reached; every expedition to it has arrived at today and been asked to wait.

Midnight

Midnight, in its entirety.

Midnight lasts no time at all, yet it is the most widely attended event on the calendar.

Dot

A dot, shown actual size.

In 1962 a bureau spent nine years on how big a dot can be; its report was a single full stop.

Beige

Beige, shown here while nobody was looking.

Beige is the colour walls go when nobody can agree, and it only exists while no one is looking at it.
