A Moment Longer

Olive Trees

The landscape is covered with olive trees, and huge farms of solar panels; great use for a sunny land like this. There are small forests here and there, and I see some empty lands as we pass by the road. The olive trees are full

From up the hill

They set a big fire in the middle of the town. It's for the winter holidays. People gather around it, drink wine, red or white, and sing songs with their terrible voices. It's a bizarre tradition, but the people of the town seem to love

Summer Raindrops

Hot and humid, sometimes the wind stops blowing. Surrounded by the steam in the air, the extreme humidity makes it feel like a rain cloud around your body. A personal small cloud all around you. Smells like a melancholic Sunday afternoon. The microscopic drops of

Children of the Street
