The landscape opened without warning.
Space to breathe
The trees became smaller, the sky became larger and the road stretched towards a horizon that seemed much further away than it really was.
Open country has a different rhythm.
There is less visual noise and fewer distractions. The landscape gives every subject room to exist.
No reason to rush
There was no plan beyond continuing forward.
Sometimes that is enough.
A quiet road, warm light and the freedom to decide where to stop.
