Even when I was living in a big city, I tended to create my own microcosm. A handful of friends, a couple of favourite places to go out to and a few favourite walking routes. Out of a vast city, I was using just a tiny fraction of it, during my daily routine. Occasionally it so happened, work or other obligations to make me move out of my everyday habits and find myself in other parts of the city but that was the exception, not the rule.
So now that I am living in a very small town, it doesn't really feel small at all. I have everything I need to built, for one more time, a microcosm to surround me and host my daily routine :)
The beach, the abandoned hotel, the blooming hillside and a few walking routes are the new elements that I am using to create my small, personal world and they are more than enough. At least for now!
Let's not forget that apart from the tendency to create microcosms, I also tend to move periodically and change radically my life :)
Of course there are some invariables that stay with me no matter how big the changes in my daily life are. Like my little obsessions or the camera in my hand :)
And my love for blooming almond trees!
Actually it is a rather interesting question. How much our surrounding is affecting us and in what degree why carry around our personal problems and fixations, no matter where we go. After many moves and many changes, I haven't found any easy answer in this query.
But it keeps twisting in my mind every now and then.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 850D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic
All the pictures and the words are mine.
