Flying over a Beach in Sumbawa — Jason Clapham Copyright
	How close they are: Their red blooms straining on their stalks, Reaching up like buoys fastened to the seabed with fishing line: Some made simply from supermarket carriers and driftwood others lovingly tailored from salvaged scraps of nylon. They are a species of eye launched by the curious below throwing their whole lives into the air
