The Nest in the Signal
A swallow builds her nest inside the trackside signal lamp and wishes the trains would hush. Every driver who slows gently past her light finds a tailwind waiting on the far side of the valley.
Why this works on camera
Tiny nest, huge machines — scale contrast with a rule of kindness written in signal light and wind.
What the studio will do
Straw in the signal lamp
Slow past, swift after
Fledglings in the lamplight
