Man sits down to enjoy landscape and have a good time in nature. It seems a little difficult to sit comfortably - the ground is not a chair.
He moves and moves, his skin is hurted by small sharp stones... ...and itching plants as well. Finally he manages...for a while...
Oh, the sun is hurting the eyes - he takes sunglasses... ...which color the sight...
Thank god - humans invented instruments... ...the landscape is coming closer to view...
...listening to the walkman... ...the music colors the view again... ...different music to the same view gives different perceptions...
After getting tired of watching the landscape, the man starts to read... ...the story is mixing up with the sounds around, the landscape is vanishing for the man reading his book...only the wind is disturbing a bit, so the man has to hold the book carefully...not very comfortable also to concentrate on the text...
The man starts to make signs... ...breaks some leaves...
..."creates" human culture...
The man is getting thursty and lucky that he carries water with him.... ...he is thinking of the time...do I have to leave soon in order to be in time for dinner...will it become dark early...he starts thinking about his future..in one or two hours... ...the air gets filled by smoke...
...but finally he lays down to sleep a bit.

The sound of nature around becomes louder, he feels, flies, birds, the sea, the wind...he feels a little unsafe without his eyes open...
but finally he starts to dream a little...

...the sun colors his dreams through the closed eyes, the sound around is mixing with his dreams and influencing them...
His memories, day dreams, the views are starting to mix... ..the nature around, the sound are "dangerously" mixing with his brain thoughts.. He gets up abruptly, takes his things...
and leaves back to "civilization". The nature stays as it was before. What will he remember of these hours there?
