There is such a sense of serenity in your shot. A touch of the old world. It reminds me of the movie “Somewhere In Time”. You are probably too young to know it.

Just a couple of days? Enjoy your rest nonetheless.

If I dig back far enough in my memory Kala, your shot reminds me so much of the “Sunday afternoon walk” with my parents (all too many years ago!) – undoubtedly helped by the antique finish.

how many conversations has it heard before?

or, confessions of heartbreaks?
