Meeting of several elements of our walks, the place of the living in the landscape crossed, the isolation of the paths taken, the dimension of the landscape which surrounds us during the journey. Encounters with the living always offer fascinating views at all scales and in all places, the clue here highlights the feeling which can interfere in us to inhabit the path, sometimes called “oceanic”, the one which takes us towards the All.
