Weekly Photo Challenge: Home

Daily Post this week talk about Home…

This shot group in a glance the two things that means Home for me, because remind me, sadly, that  I’m coming home : Monte Rosa and Dome of San Gaudenzio, patronal of my town.

Monte Rosa  is the first that means this for me, I can already see  60/70 km before home.

San Gaudenzio Dome is the second that when sky is blue, with his 121 mt higher I can see it about 10 km… And then I can say that I’m at home.

Why “sadly” ? Because I see these two symbols always when I’m returning from a little trip or a journey in motorbike as by airplane … and I wouldn’t ever having to return….

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique

This week, Daily Post asks to share a picture that says Unique to me.

Unique for me means the feeling of freedom that gives me ride with the bike…

Citing Robert Pirsig, “In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. 

On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.

It’s definetly true !

Then, when you’re riding load of luggage, people is more available to you …
Children look me from inside cars, greet me and when I answer them, dreaming already tomorrow to be a biker …
And it’s nice to get lost in my own thoughts, listening to the rain “knocks” on my helmet, washing  the soul…
