He tipped me on my sholders . Did not say anything.

I never seen something so beautiful. Seemingless strawhills or light earth hill next to each other leaving deep holes in the floor, scattered around, plants growing out.

Chapter 1:

Landscape in Photography and art has a secific meaning.  Being unspecific and less descriptive than other formats Looking at landscape is more about Building up associations Within the audiences' mind than staying in the picture.

Mads and me agree. Go as far as possible away from translating content in a picture. People don't read picture do not trust them. But people like images. Very much. Vor its Beauty, humor, querkynes.

Make them Dream, surprise. Get them into a world. Do everything but don't stay at the truth. the truth or whatever that is is in the words.

 Capter 2:

It is funny. The train ride is for most people at least 10 hours. Maybe 36. There is nothing to do, no struggle with any other passengers, no seating issues and no little babies who cry all the time. But nobody is Reading, or Doing anything.

In moscow going to the metro is the best place to understand the book market. And it is full and Hit and cold, Depending on the season, People are Stuck in each others sholders, lucky the One who has a seat. But they are reading, doesn't matter how full, how comfortable. Even on the escalater, endless but quick.

Mentality, cultural context and habits also group movement. Maybe it says something about a country. India is slow, negative said. Enjoying the moment, positive variation.

Germany- what do they do in an intercity. Listen to Music, work, laptop, book, most of them do not talk. Well, says something as well.

 Chapter 3:

Finally i think i found spirituality or what people call it.

A man in the train did it. I actually talked to him because he helped me to recharge my phone. So I talked to him, not sure what was the beginning after the beginning.

 I never dealt with spirituality. In varanasi the oldest and holiest place in india I did not go into any temple, visited no ashram and talked to no shiva.

Spirituality is living in the presence. He said. Not just that. A lot more. But actually he said that.

I understand. Frustration and sorrow is destructive, waste of energy. Excitement and expectations is waste of energy as well, I think they think. Just available for people with too much time, free time, i think.

 Main Goal is being super balanced and untouchable- of course you should be happy, but not getting driven away. Quite practicability considering the fact that this Religion is supposed be reached through intense meditation not frustration.

Final:

I am in Bangalore. It is still cold, soon hot as every day. but no cold. i walk towards the end of the bridge. Trains are coming and going.
