Away from the City

"This is really the country side", John said, when we arrived in the place where my dad grew up. Leaving the car, and having a 360 degrees look around the area, it really feels like the end of the world. No people, no noise, no pollution, which is simply wonderful. A little dull at the first sight (I can't imagine myself spending a week or more there, like some times I did as a child in june, but as a child you see the world differently, right?), but little by little its hidden beauty becomes more nitid, enchanting one's eyes with its reticence. The tiny little glimpse of vibrant colour in a sea of green, like a little yellow flower in its loneliness, the unexpected rainbow after a very hot day, when it deliciously rains making the ground so cosy, the nature, huger than you, or much smaller that becomes almost insignificant or just like you, like us.

P.S.: I edited four pictures from the post below using some tool available on flickr. The result is quite simple, but I believe it makes a little more justice to what has been photographed. Check it here. Ah, and photos 8 and 9 were taken by John with his own camera. My sunset shots were not so good =/
