And whenever one is thinking: So, now it is cool - because the night awake time dewy and a couple of clouds on the otherwise clear blue sky draw - then brings the summer only a deep sigh, and again raised the thermostat temperature by a few millimeters.

Umber and ocher in all possible shades and formable, sometimes so deep that it looks like the country uncontrollable bleeding from a wound. Occasionally of such airiness that one might believe, the horizon is a tendency toward heaven, ready to fly on wings of ever-present dust. But then the sun falls into the sea and pours over everyone and everything with a light of beauty that is all red and glowing from within. And the trees are glistening in countless shades of green, silver, gray and black forest green, the eternal spring of plane trees, the whispering greenery of willows and alders, the stress with her finger branches of the few and unfathomable water areas, the cough drop colored green of fragrant eucalyptus and their soothing counterpart, the quiet green of cork and holm oaks. Greener than all the Central European summer green is the Green of the South, perhaps because it is not so ubiquitous, so much more precious and is usually found only in places where the water resides, hidden, and a rare beauty.

I like an exotic plant with rage out of my size from indigenous plants that do not know yet whether they will grant me refuge. And I speak in tongues, I myself am homeless and need to establish myself in the still uninhabitable. But I love before, and that's the best of everything.
