"Bridge"
by Thomas Link
Distribute in an alder grove, partly surrounded by tall bushes
eighteen stones, left behind as if by chance. They have block shape and
bear traces of processing reminiscent of architecture, perhaps of the remains
a historical ruin field. A place of fragments, of the past, the
invites you to linger in the light penumbra.
A glance falls on the mighty "bridge stone". He bridges the narrow one
Stream that borders the grove to the east. The bridge leads into a wide, completely open and bright meadow field that rises gently.
