These Roads Don't Lead Anywhere



A long stretch oh yes,
Going no further than
Where we take ourselves.
A long stretch oh yes,
Undergoing more than
What we bargained for.
A long stretch oh yes,
When we lose our way
On a one way street.
A long stretch oh yes,
How we reach the end
And find nothing at all.

Fields Of Green



It's not often you get an open uninterrupted view as such, and definitely a breath of fresh air to breathe fresh air for once. Not many spot what's so amazing about such a view, but only because the whole point is not to focus on anything, but rather to enjoy the view in it's entirety. You might think I'm flipping mad, but try it someday. The view from there just might astound you.

Line The Way



Trees line the paths we
walk, providing shade that's oh
so appreciated

Serenity Falls



Despite how much one could obsess over how great something is, it doesn't take a hard boiled egg to know that there's always a less than fine side to it all. These photos came from a huge field, spanning about almost the distance from one mrt to the other. Compound that with it's blooming flora and picturesque look, you have one empty patch that sticks out of its surroundings like a bald patch sticks out (well, not really sticks out) on a man's head. Took me some time and an unwelcome shock before I realised anything. Actually, an unwelcome shock just helps sum up my almost tripping on a half-broken grave stone, except leaving out all the grisly details and my apparent idiocy.

Sometimes such realisations, bad as they are, are better off left as surprises. At least for half a day I believed that perhaps there was still something pure, untouched and perfect left in this mangled up world. At least for a few hours I believed once again that there might actually be more great finds that the world has not yet capitalised on. At least for a few minutes I believed that such stunning simplicity still existed in such a magnificent way. At least for a few seconds I believed.
