Day 47b: The view from Above … (05/31/2019)
One of the advantages of sleeping on the nearside outskirts of any particular town (in this case St. Sauver en Rue) was the gorgeous, almost medievally mystical vistas that graced my eyes while passing through (or in this case, above) those same, mostly deserted villages during the initial moments of the early mornings that followed.

“Detached perspective is a form of divine abstraction; greatly simplifying — and thus more fully exposing — the intimate relationship that always exists between eye, brain, heart, and object.
