At Elmina Castle in April 2007, where renovation still continued, these two wheelbarrows stood parked in the blinding sunlight. I couldn't help but remember William Carlos Williams' famous poem, and wondered what these, in light of the castle's terrible history, would have prompted him to write. But perhaps no words can adequately express that horror.

A photo of a commonplace thing, now haunted.
Zhoen, if ever a place were haunted, Elmina Castle's it.
I did a painting with this title long ago in art school. I'll have to look for it now.
Michael, maybe you'll feel like painting another, this time called "Synchronicity"? (Thinking of Jung's use of the word).
