Amtrak liturgy.


Amtrak Liturgy from lion.mouth on Vimeo.

A four minute inter­pre­ta­tion of a fif­teen hour train ride. Sights between Philly and Mon­treal cap­tured on my cam­era phone.

Train rides are slow and peace­ful yet stilted affairs. It feels like you’re about to elope, if only you can get there.

I rode with a friend; our naps were out of sync. It was quiet and watch­ful and whis­pered and bor­ing. We lis­tened to a strug­gling stro­phe.
