“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.”

Shot this in Port Perry, Canada, last June. Not sure what came before the Inc. but I think it was made up of old engine parts.

Seagulls looking for a quick meal as a farm tractor turns the soil in his field. Timing was perfect for when I drove by to capture this scene with the colourful trees to serve as a backdrop.
