About yesterday

in #photomatic7 years ago

So, the last couple of weeks I've been working tirelessly from 7 in the morning until 12-1 AM (job, side projects, you name it). The few hours of sleep slowly got to me until the point I couldn't function properly. It all culminated with yesterday when everybody seemed to have a chip on their shoulder or it seemed that way due to the lack of sleep.
So, I took the best part of the day off, got in my car and drove about 50 km to see some friends and relax a little. They live quite close to the mountains so, as I got closer, the grey, dull landscape started turning into winter wonderland.

Had some great time along with my friends, had a few laughs, talked about everything, including Steemit and then we all went out for a walk in the nearby park.
The night quickly settled in so,before leaving the park I took another quick shot of a beautifully lit alley that was covered in snow.

I'm still feeling tired but at least I got a healthy dose of energy to last me until the weekend.

Very nice photos Raoul! I think I like the first one best :) the contrast between the black and white really makes the image stand out !

Thanks so much Tristan! I like that one too though it seems too cold. I get the chills by looking at it :) Didn't spend too much time in post as I didn't went there with the purpose of taking photos

It seems like everybody is dead tired lately. And it's so hard to choose to chill out, relax and get a good night's sleep nowadays.

I don't even know when these habits have changed for the worse in my life. I guess the bad habits have crept in slowly and unnoticed, without any warning.

And if and when that warning comes, it's a little too late.

That's what i'm afraid of.... and the days seem to be shorter and shorter. You barely have any time for yourself, always running, always against the clock. When and not if we'll get to regret it it will be too late and we'll be left with regrets and a hospital bill.
When this year started I've made it my resolution to tone it down a bit...well, it's working wonderfully :))

A few years ago I used to be a member of the Slow Down movement and it was one of the best things I did in my life.

Everything was going nice and smooth, people were wondering what the hell had happened to me, and damn, it was so good.

But since I'm a freelancer, I'm the worst boss I ever had. :D

I'm in the same situation...my own slave :)

Looks fantastic! nothing like a nice brisk day to make you feel properly energised!

Thank you so much! Yeah, I needed that fresh air like I need sleep :))

Glad you feel better after a trip away, sometimes that's all you need!

Yeah, I recharged my batteries for a few days :) Yeah, sometimes you just need to get away from all...

Good to know!
