Sunday.
No sunshine, though.
I struggled with a lack of patience and I felt an undirected anger creeping up. To prevent that anger from escaping its containment and throwing itself at the next best subject I decided it was time for a long walk in the early afternoon today.
A long walk along a straight line, for roughly 5km until I would reach the sand pit I discovered on an extensive Wednesday walk, back when the weather used to be a lot nicer.
Upon entering the forest I was immediately greeted by a cheerful surprise. Somebody has put up a bunch of Christmas ornaments on a random tree next to the trail into the woods. Awesome stuff.
The anger started to settle and I set off to walk my self into a trance like state. Four point something kilometers along a straight line in a fast pace with a long stride. That's my medicine when things get tough.
By the time I reached the sand pit the anger had withdrawn itself. Since it's Sunday, the sand pit wasn't operating and I could finally sneak in to look at the place up close. Exploration is an excellent stimulation for the mind.
The water in the pit has a beautiful turquoise tint to it. It's caused by small clay particles that get emulsified in the water while the sand is being dug out.
I continued exploring the compound and the enclosed forest next to it. I startled a sleeping owl, I can't even remember when I last saw an owl in the wild, probably decades ago. And then I walked into a sizeable family of wild boar, maybe 15 or 20 of them. They immediately ran off, but I think I was more scared then them in the moment. Obviously I didn't get any pictures of either incident.
But before I made my way back home, with a refreshed mind and fully at ease with my temper again, I made another unlikely discovery.
A little group of mushrooms growing in a rather unusual spot, in the middle of a pile of sand.
Thanks for your time!
