Whenever the noise of the city and the cluttered thoughts become unbearable, I always dream about going away. I would love to visit somewhere where the horizon is vast and the air is fresh. These pictures that I took on my adventure into nature are the memories of that very trip. That was a magnificent road trip through the countryside that was colored with the golden-green hues.
Driving on that road, we were seeing many different views, however, what was the same – the peaceful atmosphere around us. Here you can see how the dry golden hills spread out below the vast blue sky. In certain areas, farmers cultivate fields in a patchwork of yellow-brown squares. Down in the valley, there is a line of dark green trees which contrasts greatly with the bright sun. I remember looking out of the car window and enjoying the fresh breeze on my face.
In one of the pictures, there is a magnificent sharp mountain range which rises really high in the background. The mountain peak looks as if it is looking after everything and everybody that surrounds it. There is a row of green trees in the foreground, creating a border between the rocks and the hills. Staying at such place makes one feel incredibly insignificant but at the same time very close to the environment.
While moving further into the countryside, one notices that people live in harmony with nature. At one point, there are a few small houses and a farm surrounded by greenery. Farther into the hills, one can see two tall towers which belong to some power station or factory. It was intriguing to observe the fact that such huge human constructions were placed in the middle of a completely calm and untouched by anyone scenery.
These pictures were taken as I needed something to remind me of the color of the grass and the sky. At times, people rush through life and they fail to realize that there is a vast and tranquil world out there that awaits their exploration. The good thing about these pictures is that when my life gets into its usual pattern, I can simply glance at these pictures and escape to the open road. It is a beautiful recollection of a journey without an end point, just a longing to see the beauty of the earth.
