Composition - Car Journey

He closes his eyes when the dust cloud bites his face. “It would have been much faster if you took the mountain tracks” he hears in his head, like a punishment for his bad decisions. The nearly dead bushes dance to the wind’s rhythm under the sunshine in the dusty desert where a snail of tractor tracks? cut through the mountains.

The motorbike breaks the natural aspect of the open field as the wheels cut the land. The blue pieces of the motorbike’s body turn brown while mud starts to eat away at the youth of the vehicle. The pair of jeans and leather jacket of the driver get more and more worn, and the city style helmet gets punished by the dust and insects.

No skyscrapers, but only tall trees in sight; no smoke or fog, but only dust. Nothing like the big cities that he used to live in. The motor on the bike roars as its driver pulls the accelerator pedal with an impatient rage. “I don’t like cross-country” was all he could say.

The mountains stared the sky as the sun falls long and far away. The mirror-like surface of the lake makes all of red landscape hotter. The random placed bushes and trees give a green point to the painting. The black breath of the motorbike breaks the monotony of inhabitation.

One white house appears between the mountains as the tail end of a village. The road becomes cut as the motorbike runs straight to his destiny. A little mole appears in middle of the path finding a nasty end.

Some kids playing cards says hello to a black suited man in the entrance of the village. This man with a brown folder is in a sea of rural life. A sea where the man looks like an urban island, where the driver can hide and survive in this entire rural world that he hates.
