Sometimes, the best plans are the ones you don’t make at all. You pack a few essentials, put on your most comfortable sneakers, and set off without a specific destination—guided only by the desire to escape screens and the daily rush. That is how I found myself on a short nature walk today, alongside a canal filled with water.When I arrived I sat by the shore, ate my sandwich and enjoyed the silence. Now you won't believe I fell asleep there on the grass.Then I took a short walk around a nearby rural property and snapped a few photos. This year's drought didn't yield large fruit.
I didn't meet anyone while passing through these wild landscapes. As darkness fell, I managed to photograph the sunset as well.
This day taught me an important lesson: we often travel hundreds of kilometers in search of magic, forgetting that the most beautiful sunsets, homegrown produce, and the peace we all crave can be found right here—in nature, just a stone's throw from our city.
I hope you liked my photos.
