driving me away

..."Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream"...

I would never have thought to pair a row of trees like this with the selected R.E.M. song : but you know, it really works. Great blog entry.

So strange that this has a rushing-by feeling without even moving . . the deep tones have a feeling of gathering mystery.

I have a feeling that this one precedes to a impressive serie...Anyway, like the blur as if taken from a car. The text makes us think looking at the photo trying to find answers.

Some sort of a painting where land and sky meet, trees leading to space, every lines merging to an horizon, a journey itself.
