When the city will consume me... Where will I go for a walk?

Continuing travelling from the cycle "just step outside the door" one day I went for a long walk to a place that I visit quite often.

Almost every week.

I like to meet the rising sun there and surprise small roe-deer in the bushes.

I also like saying goodbye to the sun at sunset.

Autumn is so exploited by photographers - professional and amateur, and yet it still impresses. And although I know that thousands of people have already taken similar photos, I still can't resist.

And I raise the camera to my eye.

Here's what I like when traveling - impressions, moments of reflection. I need enough time to stop and look around. I don't like to hurry, I don't like to score points on the map. It's not a competition. I prefer to explore one place thoroughly, without rush. In a lazy pace.

I prefer to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and people, Only sky, water, wind and me. I truly rest only in solitude.

Maybe that's why I can visit the same places with the same delight, I never get bored.

Maybe I bring something different to this space every time? Maybe my internal world meets the external one and creates a unique mix of emotions and impressions each time?

Nevermind.

I am happy that I live on the outskirts of the city - all I need is a 20-minute walk and I'm surrounded by nature.

Unfortunately, the greedy city is growing and absorbing more and more greenery. I know that progress cannot be stopped, but I don't like it.

A few more years and the city will consume me too. Where will I go for a walk then?
