Over the pass We have arrived, not at our destination, nowhere,over the pass. From now on we can see ahead all the way to the next hills. to the next pass.

Dos Cuba Libres Never been here before? The busy rhythm, around every corner another bay, and resting will not come soon but still an elegant chaos

I Burnt My hand On a Hot Cake Morning Light through the aging blinds of indecision, together, moving, catching up to the sounds of the opening day.

Lightsome Wither the Fog with sunlight over a winter's ground. I am warm besides you, running before the storm.
