I suppose that the dream of every introvert is to go somewhere for a walk and to see no humans around at all... 馃槀 In this particular walk, that dream was fulfilled... 馃槂 We were walking in nature for around an hour (or a bit more), and we didn't meet anyone! Just to clarify, this isn't a desert (while in some photos it looks like that), there are hiking trails (not a jungle), the day was perfect for a walk, but nobody, except us, decided to enjoy this peaceful surrounding...
If you were watching the walk and talk video from 3 weeks ago, you will maybe recognize some of these views in the photos... Curiously, I have noticed that I mentioned banks in that post, and today, I had another unpleasant talk with my bank accountant... lol... As the weather was ugly today for a walk, I suppose that my de-stress method is to check out old photos (like these) and absorb some of the calm atmosphere from them... 馃槂
Oh, yes, this walk wasn't today, but around 4 weeks ago... And because of 2 photos above, I couldn't post a title: "No living creatures", as these were some very active tadpoles (larval amphibians) in a few small water ponds... It is a small river, but it sometimes goes underground, then it gets ground, creating these small ponds, or maybe the better word is puddles! It's amazing how life can appear anywhere!

When I was on a walk, I had the idea of creating photos from some "weird" angles and making them more interesting... A few squats during the walk are good for health... 馃槂 A small bridge over the "big" river... 馃檪
Nice place for a picnic if you want to take a rest and enjoy the silence...
This small river was powering up many water mills in the old days!
I'm always amazed at how these plants can survive in conditions like this... Lack of soil, lack of rain and water in general... That's why I like to take these closeup photos of flowers, which are mostly so small that you can't even notice them while you are walking... Except if you slow down and pay attention!
I suppose that the river was much bigger back in the long past as this whole trail is situated in a sort of a canyon which was probably "molded" by this (now) tiny river thousand and thousand of years...
"I'm not a rose, but I'm still pretty"
I tried to get some nice reflections in the water, but it was already evening, no sun in the canyon, and no big water surfaces... 馃槂 Maybe next time...
I was joking in that above-mentioned video with a similar waterfall, saying that it's Niagara Falls... 馃槂 Well, this is another one! Two in a row! 馃槂
A few posts ago, I mentioned how hard I'm finding my place in this new surrounding, after moving to a completely different city and area... Well, places like this exist near to my place, and I have to continue searching for them... The first place is discovered, and it's time for investigating and finding others... Spring is near, and it's probably the best time of the year to be spent in nature!
Thank you for your time,
