The foot of the hill
The morning sun rises from behind the shady hill warming the village with a solemn hymn, everyone has gone out of the town leaving dryness and darkness all around; the dogs are running and barking at the cars as they scramble through the deserted street creating a brawl in the middle of the town.

The smiles are plenty, The tears are...
