Opening a Gate


The text "Opening a Gate" written by John Berger is is dealing with a world that exists away from human order and habits. It tries to tell the reader that he has to look at things differently, forget his rules of society and to have a closer look at things around to recognize that there are other existences and incidents. There are special moments and things that are not as usual as our daily life but that could give us great pleasure if we just recognize them. The text is also saying that some animals (for example dogs) are able to communicate and connect between these two worlds (world of human habits and world of "special little happenings" in nature f.e.) Its just the manner how they act that makes us pay little more attention to things around us from time to time. Thats why I chose these pictures. I think horses are sometimes acting in the same way like dogs (maybe not that much, but they do) they let me focus on the small things and remind me of what is really important in life.
