There is something calming about Parma. I don't know if it's the eerie quiet the City seems to emanate - only occasionally bursting into life and always when you least expect it - or the sense of being at home that I'm beginning to feel.
Either way, the silence seems to envelope you.
Making your thoughts swirl around loudly in your head.
Your heartbeat ever so slightly slowing
as if to accompany the mysterious lone bird
chirping away at three in the morning.
No one at all is about.
The houses stand so silently
you wonder if anyone is in them at all.
Though you are all alone,
the darkness wraps you in its arms.
The pictures above were taken by drunk me, on the cycle home after a night out. The effect was created by holding my camera in one hand, pressing the shutter and cycling down the path, steering with the other. Drunk me was very proud.

ReplyDeleteAgree about Parma - it felt very peaceful, cycling about at night.
