These cranes on the expensive side of Ipswich Marina are used, I presume, to lift big yachts
and gin palaces out of the water for their annual scrape. But in winter they're not exactly
over-used, and by the end of the day when the boat crews have gone to the Nelson for a
swift one before bedtime, and the sun has sunk into the west, the lone floodlight comes on to
illuminate (not much of) the dockside. Only photographers and smokers lurk at this time of
day, both social pariahs: one filling up his memory card and one filling up his lungs. It's a pity
this 'magic hour' is so short - one never seems to be able to get there in time.
It's said that Nestor Almendros, the great Cuban cinematographer, when working on Terence
Malick's 'Days of Heaven' in 1978 only shot during the 'magic- or golden- hour' - just after
sunset when the set was lit by the soft glow from the sky but without the hard shadows of
sunlight. The film is exquisite to look at, but I doubt the story can be true - it would have
been phenomenally expensive, a bit like some of the yachts that you can see in the Ipswich
Marina.
