this is a temporary countryside: young people wish to go away as soon as they can, in search of work or more enticing people to know, as the mean age here is high. the river used to redraw the land with its floods, and sooner or later it is in its nature to prevail against human temporary remedies as the levees ,and changing again the landscape (this is know as return period, in statistic and risk analysis).
sometimes I wish that this tired scenery could be erased leaving place for new dreams and desires.
