THE KISS

one horse, who was just brought into an adjacent meadow, gave to another one who had been waiting near the wire.
I have hardly ever been inside a house as big as the one I photographed yesterday.
But some years ago we were invited to visit this one. The owners who lived there still at that time we had met and they showed us around.
Unbelievable large spaces and rooms, an attic bigger than a ballroom and a basement where ships could find a haven. Centuries ago it had served as a custom-house as the ships coming from the south of Hessen were unloaded in the harbour and their cargo transferred to ships that sailed to Bremen.
When the owners went to live upon the hill, more light up there and an amazing view of course, the house was for sale. Perhaps there are now appartments made in the huge building in town. Perhaps it is still empty.
The weather had not changed. Come, let's make another misty picture and why not walk along the Weser to Würgassen, where the horses still may be in the meadows.
Piet Hein wanted to take a picture of mother river, as he is fascinated by the fast streaming water.
There is a manege almost near the big bridge and we walked till there.
We found horses in several meadows and I gave two the carrots I had brought.
A rather fierce wind on our way back and we agreed that our trip had been a bit too long.
I slept on the couch for a while in the afternoon.

My haiku:

On the road a man
Lead two horses and let them
Run free in the field

One of them started immediately rolling over on the ground, the other ran towards the horses in the ajdacent meadow and they came close and kissed. For us a magic moment to be seen.


And the proverb:

If you have done no ill the six days, you may play the seventh.
