There's something poetic in a balcony where people use to live a part of their daily life. Balcony is a place where you can watch outside, but people outside can watch you. You can enjoy a bit of fresh air, take a coffee in relax, grow your plants in vases, watch the life around you and leave the life free to watch you.
I don't have a balcony and even if when I lived on the mountain I had a long balcony, in front of me I had just the forest, so nobody could see what I did and I couldn't see anybody around me (just some wild animals ^_^). I think it's because of this that I'm intrigued by the balcony with people who are there in relax. In the old time, in he small alleys in the cities, you could see many people on the balcony, they used to talk each others from there and a way to improve the sense of community, but now people seems to prefer to stay connected each others just using their smartphone.
Sometimes I really think we need to turn off our smartphone for a bit and to open our mind to the real world.Even if just for a couple of hour at week, it could be a good way to live our life not just in a virtual bx ^_^
See ya soon
