walking alone - a photo on Flickriver

walking alone

            We meet him in our trip. We had a short conversation in which he told us he was making this trip daily, no matter the weather, trying to escape from the crowded city. 

He wanted some photos and said that will give something in return. I took some photos and the same day after I printed them I went and put them in his postal box. 

After about a month I see something in my postal box. It was a letter with a poem dedicated to my friend and me. The poem is named "White paradise" (ro. Paradisul alb) 

Below is a part from the poem (the poem has 24 lines). It is in romanian since I'm not able to do the translation:

Prin frumusetea alba calcand, ma duc in sus. 
Sunt singur. O padure de alb impovarata. 
Pe crengi. Se uita brazii la mine. Ce-i de spus?
Nimic! E o tacere! Si gandul a-ncetat. 
 
                                           (Constantin Bihara)

What I can say is that this was a surprise. I gave something (some photos) without being sure I will receive something in return. I have received more and also a confirmation that you can still meet good people.
