· Owner's comment: |
| Only you have to lie down on the ground, close your eyes and hear the trill of the birds and the light breeze which swings the branches of the black poplars. The direct contact with the earth gets us plenty of an unusual energy and, when you open your eyes and discover the blue sky, you realize that we come from a refreshing journey and, when we get up, it seems like we feel happier. |
