I'll probably surprise you again with my interpretation of the theme, but looking through my photo albums, I didn't find what I was looking for - sky, birds, wings, clouds... anything that could be associated with freedom. So I thought of something else, and it's partly figurative: To be able to look down from above. This to me is freedom in every sense. Of course, it is also freedom to be able to lift your head and look up at the sky and the clouds, the vast expanse that makes you dream. But down...
Imagine the following - a person is stuck in problems, everyday problems, life problems, he thinks, he has the feeling that there is no way out, there is no solution to these problems. Then suddenly he is given the opportunity to look down on all those (minor) stumbling blocks and problems and realize the whole picture. Then one can understand that everything is arranged in some very meaningful way and this can free one from all worries. So, this is the freedom.

And to illustrate this, I show the view from the highest place where I have been recently - the Devil's Bridge over the Ardino River in Bulgaria.

The other night I visited a pub with friends.

We had two or three, or four pints of excellent beer but that's not the point of my post today, after a huge break.

A band was playing that night and despite the interesting conversations with my friends, I got attracted to the other room of the pub and I listened to some of their songs. Indie Rock rocks!

There was a crowd there, I had to lift my hands up in the air to be able to take few shots with my phone.

There was something liberating in their music. I felt Freedom in it!
