Outside The Oranges are Blooming. The man and the mist

A misty mountain range. A few mistrustful looks and a disquiet of an absolute silence. Holy chants echoing from the church while a man endures alone between the walls of his dark house.

He wanders through the splendid nature, bewailing on his condition as a man doomed to serve the surroundings he has rejected.
