Description

When looking at a map you try to locate where you are, or perhaps even if you are? Once located you reflect on to where you were going. This happens to me in New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo, St. Petersburg, Rio, Sydney, Beijing, Patagonia, Lapland, Helsinki, Alaska or on my Iowa farm. If alone off in the nature of Lapland, the unknown becomes strangely wonderful. If in a city, a sense of being lost can emerge and become problematic. I can then stop someone and ask for guidance, presuming I understand them, and they understand me. I know it’s risky. On the other hand, using my smartphone I quickly see my specific location and then am directed to the most local restaurant, or store. Once there I am to relax and decide on my preferred shopping, as directed on my phone screen. To compensate for not being in nature’s wonder I look for the cheapest shopping or sit back and watch videos in excitement. The artificial rescued me and compensated for the lack of the natural. Meanwhile, clouds created from producing and using the artificial approach on my horizon.
