Photo-essay: Trees And Clouds
Hello, everyone! π
Over the last few weeks, unexpected and sad things have happened to me. However, we turn, and whatever happens to us, we must accept reality and move on. Life goes on, except for those who have gone on into eternity and will only be in our memories. This introduction is because this week (and it is only Tuesday), I have been to two funerals of people dear to me who have left us unexpectedly. I did not feel well after all that.
But I won't go into more detail about that. I believe everyone has a story like that, and as these things are more intimate, I prefer not to share them in detail; I mention them.
When I came home today, I had to blow my head a little and have these gloomy thoughts about transience. So I went for a walk. I usually take Atos with me, but today, I went alone. I concentrated on photographing the landscape in more detail, specifically the trees and the sky with the clouds, constantly changing due to the light wind.
I tried not to think about anything. In the last few days, I have met many people I used to hang out with when I/we were younger. Some I recognized, some I didn't. But we have all changed - we are older. And when I'm walking alone in the meadow, with no one around, looking at the trees and the clouds, it's easier not to think about all that. A tree, clouds, wind, a photo.
After a while, I felt better. The gloomy thoughts disappeared. But is this the feeling that some say nature cures? I don't know. It's not my field; I don't remember it well, but it helps.
I returned home with an empty head and a more optimistic view of the future.
Thank you for your attention!
