Here amongst Ypres…I begin to settle in my peace. One step less today – to benefit two steps tomorrow.
A walk through the town’s industrial area finds various appeals to the eye. Images of distress, rust, shapes, textures, discordance…
Goldfinger is sure to drive up the roadway as the camera pans to the left with my steady gaze stirred but not shaken following.
