Leaving Before Dawn by Sophie Horville
There is charm in this corner, nestled in the curve of the River Seine. A pleasure from which I derive balance, a deep need to escape from the tumult of the city, to take a step back and avoid the breaking point, without moving away.
The first light of day sharpened my senses. I felt the bitter cold of the winter morning envelop me, as the first beat of wings catches my attention. I savour the unexpected, like a journey and immerse myself in contemplating (without restraint), the beauty of my environment.
Perceive the ephemeral, observe the wilderness. By discovering this unique refuge, the promise of a moment to myself, to achieve the essential. In the space of an instant, I find in this clearing the strength of the invisible link that connects me to nature, which provides me with serenity.
The photos are titled; In the Midst of a Cold Winter’s Morning, Seismogram, Two Swans, Natural Design, Alone in the World, Grasses.
