someone tell me how i feel

Tell me, is there anything wrong with driving through the hills, blubbering ones eyes out to Elbow? Apart from not being able to see the road, of course. But, apart from that?

That's not what I did today. It's just what I wanted to do.

I love this little landscape, Andrea. It looks like the illustration to a fairytale.

And it produced a wonderful and different piece of art. sometimes the grey weather seeps into your soul, a drive into the hills listening to Elbow sounds like a good thing to do! I like to find some open space, stand under a big tree and feel small and insignificant. Keep well.

I think that is a wonderful thing to do...or even to want to do.
Peace & Love,

Better get there before the house on top slides down the hill. If not for the trees...

Cheers, guys.

I've just been messing around with some landscapey stuff, for a project, recently.

Yes, Elbow is my current obsession. I thouroughly recommend The Seldom Seen Kid album.

Rick, it absolutely looks like it could slide down the hill, but it does in real life too! The other thing that amazed me about this house is how it's built just on top of the hill, how exposed can you get?!

I've been getting out and about drawing, and what I love about these landscapes (one of the things I love) are the little houses dotted around the place. In what seems like the maost random places. I love that, it really sparks my imagination. I am actually planning to blog about it when I've got better drawings! So I'll shut up right now.

Thank you all for stopping by, folks.

I think you should have allowed yourself a truly great sob fest and then pulled to the side of the road when you could no longer see it - I have never heard elbow but did follow your link and then googled the words to the song and - it would work for me - at the right time in the right place - a truly great song can do that and you should savor the moment and let the emotions out - especially alone in the car when no one can see how very much you love the beauty of LIFE

This is so different from what you've been doing lately, but I really think they are just as beautiful and delicate!

Gorgeous picture! I don't know how you do it!
Went to see Elbow at the end of October and cried my eyes out for half the concert; I don't know how they do it either!
