This is the unpaved road that leads through what was once a military area, I drive it almost every night on the way from my favorite stretch of coastline to the place where I live.

Those movements enhanced the photographs.

And that's all. Just a fragment of an ordinary summer night. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work.
