Can You Afford To Dream?
It would be so easy, I thought, so easy to simply get lost in a place like this. To let myself be taken back to a time where everything about life seemed simple and so very appealing.
An Overwhelming Feeling Of Melancholic Beauty
The clouds partly covered the late summer sunset a few weeks back on my last visit, but I could still see the rain on the horizon.
