I didn't notice these mistakes at all...but MSN is a tool to chat more than to speak ! and it's a lot to slow to express several things or feelings at the same time !

Yes sure Marta it will be nice to hear your voice and to speak with you ! I'll send you my phone number on a Dev Note today. And you'll have to tell me when you'll call so I'll be connected on skype with my magical little personnal headset !

Have a nice day dear !

When You walk through the quite young forest (20 year old pine or larch part of the larger forest) and by the occasion You stumble upon a elephant like around 300 years old beech (fagus silvatica). That's a sepcial tree, quite different in comparision with younger generation.

Or when You're walking among the trees that standed there when artilery from I-st or II-nd World War mutilated the ground around...

Or when You're walking through the not so small forest that belonged to some noble family century or more ago, and by the divisions in it, and roads (dirt roads, or just paths, often accompanied by alleys, of bent spruces [guess it was german fashion?], for example) placements You guess that this one You're taking now was leading to the main building, where there's only crumbled ruins left...

Or walking through the young pine forest after a wind-storm - forget the roads - get straight through it - everything crushed, destroyed, scrambled, scattered around, some wrecks still standing or hanging on healthier ones... Quite a view...

And I'm happy that I'm finished with the running through the forests... Now I can feel it more (but I'm not ready yet, heh...) freely.

That's very interesting to read you ! I've never seen the forests with your eyes...and I don't know the tree's names ! Do you know the name (kind) of this precise tree on my picture ?

There's a forest near Paris where my parents have a house. So I walk in this forest since I'm a kid and I know it so well that I could say that it's a part of me ! I haven't been in this place since 3 years and it's like if a woman was waiting for me somewhere !

Do you sometimes talk to the trees ?

I wouldn't risk to guess from this picture. I need leaves and bark details to try.

Heh... I had more practical way to handle trees.. :]

Talk ? Sometimes when I measured them... Like: "Oh shit, this one is bent like corkscrew! Let's check another!", "Hahaha! You need to wait another 10 years to be measured! Sucker!" [when some trees are outside the given radius; interval of checkup for areas is 10 years], "Ooops, You're dead already!" [when a tree I just measured turned out to be quite shorter than it should be], "Fccckn shieeet!" [when trying to fight with spruces of age 10-40]... And so on... It's nothing to be proud of... It's just work... And fighting for one sanity.

Feel free if You want me to try it.

It's a way of dealing with the very boring work - to measure few trees is a good, but to measure around 300-400 (or more sometimes) for a day is a massacre for a brain. Repeating the actions, concentrating on the instruments scale, writing it down, trying no to miss a single tree in radius... After few of such days You'd start talking to passing by animals, falling leaves, dead trees, sticks, whatever You want... It's just sick sometimes that one need to spend 14 days (or more) in a row in forest (forget about meeting friends and pleasure of talking with someone who actually have some thoughts to share!) to use good weather and earn the quite nice sallary... Many of such people are deep into alcohol or they're quite wild when it come to talk with people... I'm fighting with my silence lately... Heh...

I knew a man doing this job near my town I already talked to you about him...he was a singer in a Rock band at night and working in a forest during the day ! but I could'nt imagine how this job can be boring and repetitive !

Yes I'm gonna send you the original picture by e-Mail to know its kind...it's maybe a horse chestnut ?

Where do you feel more free today ? in a town in the middle of the crowd or creating new pictures ?

But I worked under pressure of deadlines and people above me, that's the point... I just can't focus on a beauty when doing such work... I just can't...

Free...? Hmmm... I'm not so sure... I missed people quite much - the talking, the words, the thoughts... I'm getting used back to the flow of the city... And I missed the posibility to make the photos with people, missed it very much... But now - I'm in a stall... Can't find the balance yet. *sigh*

So it was only a work and not the job of you life ! I just hope it will be possible for you to have a long walk as a free man in a forest soon !

My question about freedom was maybe too simple ! Freedom is nothing is we can't communicate and create ! I hope you'll find time for new nudes photo session !

I'm gonna answer to your e-Mail now...
