Sometimes, I wonder why I look upwards before starting a journey? Is it the endless possibilities of travel? Is it something deep down inside or just a habit? And how come I don't notice any shapes when the journey is ending?
Somehow, you don't look up when the journey is over. You don't see the shapes. You don't see the signs. Maybe you are too caught up in thinking about the past, or getting ready to face the future.

what nice, clean lines...good roof you were sitting under. :)i don't look for shapes before travelling...(ain't that evolved ;)) even the most ordinary journey fills me with excitment, anticipation...the promise rarely comes true...though. :( perhaps i shd take cue from your last stanza and l e a r n!
You seem to travel a lot! Lucky you! :)
I don't pay attention to such things when I am about to board. All I want is the plane to take off and land and then do what i'm supposed to do! But it's just me! lol

for me its when the journey starts that i think abt the past, abt what i'm leaving behind.
n get ready for the take off to some new faroff land. :)
...those goodbye glances are always the best- for me it's the anticipation of missing what I know- the hope that somehow it will become new again.
gulnaz - Yes, that was a good roof I was sitting under!
Miss Qt - To each his / her own! ;-)
la devil - Journey's always tend to bring back the past when they begin, don't they?
jenn see - Agree.
Cori - And when things change for the better while you are gone.
johnny crash - Interesting perspective. ;-) Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
Good observations and nice description...
Perhaps, when you return, you are facing toward home. When you begin any sort of travel, you are facing the world.
lovely snap...reminded me of escher....and the text, very apt...
>> it all comes back again
and

I always like your pictures they seem so simple to find but yet you have to be looking to see them.
Maybe you anticipate the journey before it begins, hence the shapes of thought. At the end, perhaps the shapes have internalized into inner relections, as the outside world has been stored inside you.
I look up too. I see the signs too. But at times, I just ignore them. I don’t read the signs. Don’t interpret them. Miss the opportunity. And realise it all at the end of the journey, when I’m pensive again!
