I was just wondering if a long walk could inspire an equally long post and a short one, of course, a short post. Maybe it's the other way around or maybe there's no connection.
I think a good writer can make a long story out of a short walk or can concentrate on a walk as long as a summer day in a few words...
I'm not a good writer, but I get a bit lost in words and I think I write far too long posts. I think this comes from my early days in blogging when I could hardly reach the much desired 250-word recommendation. Now, when I easily write over 1000 words I feel better... but it's not good. I need to be more concise, for the sake of readers as well as myself. Now I will try!
A short walk through my favorite park because I need space and I want to look into the distance, I want to see the sky and the lake!
What a city dweller lacks, here I mean in larger cities, is space. Everything is crowded, many buildings are built close to each other, making it increasingly difficult to see the sky. The closest to feeling the freedom of space is parks. My favorite park, Herastrau. I forgot to say, Bucharest, Romania.
The desire to see the sky was totally rewarded. It was a spring day in a winter month. A very beautiful day, with sunshine, a few clouds, and fairly strong wind. A wind that made little ripples on the surface of the lake.
The greatest beauty came from above! The sky and clouds like ships were the surprises of the walk. This whole walk was almost all looking up.
The sun also participates in the beauty around. Nor could it be without its presence.
Anyone who has read any of my posts already knows that I am an island wanderer. I love islands, here I mean the Greek ones, the supreme beauty I know. Unfortunately far too far from where I live. And yet, there is a small island in the lake. Like a toy, but when I look at it, it reminds me of islands. Every time I walk around the park, because of this island, I start making plans (dreams) for my vacation.
Herastrau Park has several qualities that make it my favorite place to walk. It's a big park, it has a lake in the middle and it's close to my house. A walk along the lakeshore is a 4 km walk which together with other paths we walk makes a total of more than 6 km, enough for our daily health needs.
I'll say it again and again, I've found that my main activity lately is... walking. Like all of you, I love to walk, but only now I have realized that walking has become my main mode of relaxation. Slowly, slowly overtaking the other pleasures I still have.
