The Trace of Freedom



　Twin pieces. 　　Drift ice. 　
　From somewhere...

　Yes. The border is not necessary for them.




　They will leave immediately. 　　 Drift ice, too.
　There is nothing there anymore.

　So, go away somewhere... 　　　　　It's Freedom.




　The wake seems to be the illusional line.
　Seagull keeps himself above all the vulgarity around him.

　All will flow sometime soon... 　It's Fate.


　Here is Russian border, offing 2 n.m of Abashiri-shi, Hokkaidō.

　The relations of this post, "Drift Ice from sea of Okhotsk " 02.01.2010 i contributed it.

    Hey Ruma!
    Jag blev så imponerad över att du skrev på Svenska hos mig. Studerar du Svenska?
    Tack för dina vänliga ord, önskar dig också hälsa och ett riktigt kreativt år.

    Beginning to understand the philosophy of your blog, and I really like the relationship of Japanese calligraphic character with the photos you show us.
    This entry I find beautiful: it's time to leave.

    Your philosophy seems to be expressed beautifully and movingly by your art of photos with words. Like seagulls, we are travellers in the flow of time born into this beautiful, so let's be free and take things as they are: this is what I felt from this post.

    Watching the earth from the space, we see a tiny planet glowing blue. We don't see any border.
    Your photos are eloquently implying us that people are dumping freedome even though they are eager to have it.
    How excellent your blog is!!
    Thank you, ruma.

    All way towards the freedom is proclaimed long and hardly, but once reached it is when the peace invades us from inside towards out of us and only this way we are capable of transmitting it.

    Your images, they transmit peace.

    Regards.

    Merce.

    Me gusta oler el aroma del mar, y cuando hace mucho frío, tal como lo siento que hace en ese mar lleno de hielo, me gusta sentir el aire en mi rostro. Pienso que las aves que migran son afortunadas. Se guían por instinto, ese que deberíamos cultivar más nosotros.
    Qué todos podamos descubrir ese instinto en nosotros desde el silencio para ver lo que en esencia somos, amor...

    Ces cygnes viennent-ils de Sibérie ? Sont-ils ceux qui s'arrêtent en Hokkaïdo sur le chemin ?

    Wow, you have amazing photos!! My husband and I lived in Kymamoto, Kyushu many years ago. When I saw your comment with Kyushu in the comment section of Sunday Photo by Kristal, I got excited! I hope that the life in Japan is treating you well. I'm Japanese living in Jakarta, Indonesia with my family. The scenery is quite different from the photos on this post. :) Kaho
