walked away a dozen times, I drove away a hundred more

I walked away a dozen times / I drove away a hundred more / But all the trains and all the buses / Brought me back here to our door (Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Anders Parker)

Très, très bien!!
Two different instants at the same place… How much can a truck change the atmosphere? Though at first I thought it was quite obvious, then I thought I don’t have clear answers, cause there is something stronger than any differences here, the feeling of abandon, loneliness, awaiting for some help.
Maybe that’s because I’m remembering these moments of misty mornings when I was hitch-hiking. Hard times, but not so hard, cause I survived! Thanks, Florian, for helping me live again these moments lost far away in dark corners of my memory. Thanks, my friend, for helping me survive.
And I want to add I loved the composition and lighting.
Florian, wunderbar mein Freund, diese Bilder lassen viel Spielraum für Fantasien, denn der Nebel ist die schönste Form der Verschleierung und Leben heisst rückwärts gelesen Nebel, vielleicht ein Grund weshalb wir nicht immer durchblicken ;–)
Sonnenreiche Tage und viele Grüsse,
Walter
ay, what a great investigation of place and object: the minimalism of the roadscape, the fog, the washed out colours, the light and composition – and the presence/absence of the truck ….
great work, and right now I’d rather be in that truck hauling down the eternity of an autobahn into the night than being stuck here, working the beat…
keep on truckin‘, pal!
Hepp!
A sacred atmosphere on these two photos Florian ! Missing a sad old song of The Cure…
Have a nice day my friend.
Ich mag den Nebel, der unsere eigene Wahrnehmung immer in Frage stellt, und ich mag diese Bildfolgen. Sie erzählen Geschichten und lassen aber immer genügend Freiraum für andere Geschichten, die durch den Kopf spuken. Tolle Aufnahmen, lieber Florian, die Dir hier wieder gelungen sind!
Viele Grüße,

ganz wunderbar diese kleine Filmgeschichte, die in mir ein großes Kino hinterlässt- die Atmosphäre unterstreicht das Ganze … more, I wanna say ;o)
herzlichste Grüße

These are impressive color photographs. Love the darkness and the muted tones
Up before most, when even the landscape seems drowsy, a feeling of quietude, the kind that comes with a steady blues rhythm
