Nice pics. I love walking and good photorgraphy but don`t wish I was there because I hate the cold .
I hope you knew the area well as the sunset was surely followed by night time
Very nice

Nice pics.

I was never a fan of walking.

Now I can't, I'd give anything to be standing in those piccies.

You are clearly an individual who continuously strives for change, is never satisfied with the mere here-and-now, who wants things different and better and straight away. Hence, no doubt, your success in your business.

Meanwhile, most of the rest of us are running on a lower gear setting. We are happy to let the seasons come and go and witness and be a part of the ever changing environment. To find delight in the detail of our surroundings and take pleasure in finding interest in that mere here-and-now.

You should appreciate this poem:
"LEISURE"

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
Wm. Henry Davies (1871-1940). "Poet of the tramps". Born in Newport, Wales
