The car, music and some crisps. To wear comfy clothes and to sail away. To be stuck in traffic and eventually take a different road, next to the ocean. To meander in the direction of the horizon. On the one side the ochre stones and its duvet of flowers, on the other side the breeze … Continue reading A weekend in the countryside / Un week-end à la campagne – Standford

La montagne / The mountain
Commencer l’ascension à pied et marcher sur les fourmis qui s’affolent dans les fourrés. Skeleton Gorge est un tableau peint de verts différents, estompé par la lumière du soleil à certains moments, qui reflètent nos consciences embrumées.

Walk with me – Kloof Street
1 Matin doux, matin froid. La nature sort de son hibernation nocturne et les humains peinent à sortir du lit, transis sous leurs duvets. Les oiseaux commencent à chanter.
