“Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.”

ahhh, to be lost in the photo. your angle suggests a great point of view emotionally as well as artistically. to me its about freedom. I think the colour here helps

I have to tell you something, Sharon : when your picture slowly appeared on my screen, my lips opened up faster than I would have thought and I heard a "Woooaaah!" (or maybe even "Woargh !")... :)))) I love the mood here, the movement so full of life, and happiness too (well, for me at least). The happiness of simple moments of freedom, and that's such a gift ! A big thanks for that yellowish & whistling fabulous ride, my dear ~

C'est une photo tellement belle, où la bicyclette se promène sur un décor d'herbes hautes. Le sépia donne un air ancien et une immense poésie nait de cette composition.

Thanks for this title... I have a lof memories listening to that song.... this was the number 1 record of each radio in 1979 while I was in the US with my parents... every day, every hour... that's why now the song is definitely associated with this unforgettable trip...
Your crop is utterly efficient and this yellow hint really evoks the end of nice and perfect summer day...
