There is something about
the tranquility in viewing rambling hills, mountain tops, water, and sky. It’s as though there is a peace that beckons
us to it. Maybe the precedent was set in
movies of old like ‘The sound of Music’ or ‘Little house on the Prairie’, but
whatever it is, it calls to my inner being.
I see meadows and fields and think of running down care free, wind
blowing through my hair and maybe a summersault or two before getting to the bottom. These thoughts are of course void of snakes
and whatever other critters may be lurking out there. This Friday was a nice sunny tropical day,
driving through the country side of ‘Forest Park, Couva’. I went there to our mechanic to have my
brakes repaired and he took me through an alternate route to avoid traffic. It was actually shorter and quicker than the
one that I usually take, but to top it off it was WAY more scenic. I couldn’t control myself in the car, and
secretly wished that I wasn’t following someone, or depending on them for
directions. I wanted to stop and bask in
the aura of the view. So I slowed almost
to a stop and pointed the camera out without looking through the viewfinder or
pulling up a view on the screen of my camera, and snapped quickly before he
wondered if something was wrong with me or my car, and then sped off to catch
back up with him. Of course the cars
behind me probably thought that I was either drunk or lost. This is just one of the images I captured and
thankfully I had the circular polarizer on lens to capture that gorgeous sky.
