REDUNDANT STOP

.

Nature’s power – a storm has silenced the overdose of signs and signals that are, without remorse, jamming our visual sense with endless instructions and prohibitions. At last, at least this one STOP-sign on the road which climbs to my hamlet has become superfluous. Even the electricity has been brought on its knees, its fat cable lying on the road, mixed with the tree’s debris. Merely a photo to give it an unbeliever’s blessing, afraid as he is to even touch the magnificent old oak that gave up its ghost – afraid to be electrocuted on the spot.
