Night falls. Or has fallen. Why is it that night falls, instead of rising, like the dawn? Yet if you look east, at sunset, you can see night rising, not falling; darkness lifting into the sky, up from the horizon, like a black sun behind cloud cover. Like some from an unseen fire, a line just below the horizon, brushfire or a burning city. Maybe night falls because it's heavy, a thick curtain pulled up over the eyes. Wool blanket. I wish I could see in the dark, better than I do

I supposed when you are alone (well, almost?) in far away places like that, you can't help it but observed everything arounds you, in great detail. It's nice but after awhile you just get lonely..A lot of your pics remind me of that feeling of being alone, dunno why:) That's why after being away for a while i'll just miss kl, no matter how much i like traveling....pk
Oh btw, i was in Zagreb couple of weeks ago, when they have that marathon thingy. I sort of tried to search among the runners, see if i'd actually see you there..silly me huh;)
Zagreb? wow u go everywhere girl!
was in germany for work, then spent about 10 days in croatia, had wanted to see croatia for longest time....finally made it there this time. Nice place. And because of that trip, i looked up the europe map and i now know where is UMEA...so cool, the light that u saw. BTW the a time away blog was quite cool, very nice travel stories
