Where come from, Where go to...



The slow curve modestly extended to here in the grass.
Possibly I maight not have noticed it.

The green was lighted up with daybreak sunlight.




The track disappeared again between the mountains over there.




I might have left from here long ago.  
And I may come back to here sometime.

so, someday...


Here is Ōchi-chō,
Saga Prefecture.




旅に病んで 夢は枯野を かけ廻る
松尾 芭蕉    (1644 - 1694)

Getting sick during trip  Dream blowing through  Wintry field
Matsuo Bashō (1644 - 1694)


This is his farewell poem haiku.

  4. That abandoned railway it reminds a little a question in eastern Finland. The Soviets conquered a part of the region Carelia in 1940 and cutted all the railways between West Carelia (still in Finland) and East Carelia (now in Russia). A railway not used is very sad and becomes old at once.

  10. Peaceful and lovely, dear Ruma. I needed something to quiet my inner turmoil and your photography helped.

    There are more changes coming in my life and I am feeling very sad as my 66th birthday approaches in two weeks. I am having to move from my home of nearly ten years. Finally, after 18 months of not working, I have run out of options. The $2300/month rent is impossible to pay, even with my two son's contributions to the rent and I have been selling things on Craig’s list, crying a lot and wondering what is next.
