• Moment of Zen and ffwd to Eastern Russia

    June 23, 2018 in Romania ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    I'm listening to this piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzTQ9fjforY when this scene appears before my eyes #acrossRomania. My moment of Zen.

    Grandma on a quad passed me by and I felt sorry for not being faster to snap a photo of hers. But my mind went back to trying to feed a shy dog. She was afraid to come closer. I thought I'll split my meat with her and take a risk by leaving it on the side of the road. I was happy to see her found it once I cycled 50 meters away. Then, as a karmic reward, the aforementioned granny came back on her quad. And I was ready.

    This is how I imagine eastern Russia in the summer. Fields, mountains in the distance and grannies on quads. Add perhaps a rifle strapped across their back and a hammer and a sickle tattoo on their forearms 😁

    Speaking of Russia, this photo reminded me of one of my favorite Russian songs. It starts with a man riding his horse through an endless field, just before the break of dawn.
