Looking up

in Black And White2 years ago (edited)

In my city, I often read when I walk around, a text written with chalk on the sidewalk or on the walls of buildings, a reminder... "Look at the sky!"
Suddenly I remember that so much I forget to look at the sky, so much taken over by city life, and I am grateful ( I hope the owners of the houses on whose walls it is written don't mind) to those who wrote this appeal.

Then I look at the sky with intensity, I am so glad to forget what is around me, I immerse myself in the sky...

It doesn't last long, the city pulls me back, and again I forget to look at the sky until I meet again with this reminder.

For an urbanite like me, any outing in nature, nature outside of the city, is a special experience and provokes great visual and other pleasures. To be more precise and to leave no room for confusion, when I say other pleasures I am thinking primarily of the pleasure of breathing in clean, unpolluted air. The pleasure of smelling the smell of the forest, the smell of damp bark on the trees, the smell of mushrooms and flowers. To the pleasure of listening to the stillness of the forest, which is not silence, there are plenty of noises to get used to hearing, from the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the crackling of dry twigs I step over. The silence of the forest, which is not silence, is something so different from the silence of the city!

The last time I was in a forest I remembered that indemnity I read on the sidewalk...

Look at the sky!

I looked up to see the sky, but found that in the forest the sky is harder to see than in the city!

In this place, the sky belongs to the forest, to the trees...

You'd have to climb the tall, old trees to get to the top to get a glimpse of the sky. But the trees disagree and have plenty of arguments, very sharp ones, that won't let you do that.

Unlike trees, we humans can move and choose a friendlier place where we can find a patch of sky.

Literally is it what written on the walls in your city, "LOOK at the sky" ?
Wall chalking is so common in my country, yet I haven't ever read such a clause.

Look at the sky has quite deep meaning, hasn't it? It is a reminder to turn towards our creator. It is a reminder to feel the blessings that we don't give an eye to. It is a reminder to focus on what we miss.

By the way, the picture for the challenge are quite captivating

Yes, it says so. I like the sky because it reminds me of the sea.

Lol. I know sea is your love

Glad you know, thanks!

Thank you!

You're welcome @bluemoon, it's well deserved! Congrats on your constant involvement on Hive 😊👍

wow Yes, it is absolutely true. I get so engrossed in my daily affairs that I forget the greatness and glory of the sky. When I do outdoor photography, I capture the sky as beautifully as possible in the frame of my photos. The sky is really beautiful.

Glad you are part of the family of sky lovers!

"Look at the sky!"

It's a good reminder. Those of us who live in big cities often forget to look at the sky.

It is so true about the difference between silence in the city and in a wild nature space. I always loved the silence of the mountains for example. I used to go a lot to the mountains in the Andes, my family used to have a cabin there, and something I loved was sitting for a while to contemplate the landscape and enjoy the silence and breathe. And yes, now that I think about it, to look at the sky too.

Beautiful photos. I hope you and yours are well.

Thank you! Nothing compares to the mountain sky, especially at night! It must have been wonderful at the mountain cabin.

If you live in a city such as Bucharest, Istanbul etc, those places in touch with nature are for escaping from the city's business and crowdedness.

Yes, that's right. Unfortunately, I rarely get to such places.

In spring, summer and autumn, it would be a good choice to go.

It would be great if you could use a black and white image as your first one though, for obvious reasons 🙂Hello @bluemoon and thank you very much for your #monomad participation!

Thank you! I noticed that I made this error and corrected it.
