Quiet Afternoon
Nov 23, 2007 sojourn
I took a walk this afternoon, and found some interesting views to photograph just outside the confines of our neighborhood. The wind was blowing and the sun was bright, a great time for a walk. I plan to go back when the leaves thin out even more. I put the photos in a collage since there really aren’t any great pictures in this batch, and the collective muse portrays the gist more concisely, pls excuse the duplicates.

I didn’t include elements that surround these relics — vinyl and brick exterior cookie-cutter houses. Pretty much the only fields left are utility right-of-ways and land where owners are just waiting for the right bid to cash in on their retirement. Sad reality is I soon won’t be able to look through trees without seeing a house. Though the haunting bitterness in the wind told me these woods are unwilling victims of “progress”, allowing my mind to wander amid the silenced memories of these fields brought a quiet rest to my soul. I need to do more of this exercise, and much more often.
