My entry for the #wednesdaywalk community, as hosted by 
Or Mordor? Or maybe better, GNAT CITY. For this week's share, I headed back to the top of the bluff to visit my most favorite place to hike...the old Mathy Rock Quarry. The skies were still hazy due to the Canadian wildfires, and there was an air pollution warning...yet I still headed out. I've been here before and shared before, so it's not a new place. Yet it's my favorite place to visit.
I stopped here this week to literally get away from it all. And this place let's you "get away from it all." It's an odd place, but special. Some two miles behond the ridge line in the photo above, there is a city of 60,000 people. Yet, you have no idea you are so close to so much urbarnization. No traffic noise, no railway noise, no sense there is civilization nearby.
The area is more or less an abandoned quarry; that's interesting, of course. Yet the real uniqueness to this place are the stories of fae music and fae activity. I've mentioned it before on Hive, but this place is unique. There is an otherworldly feel to it as you meander through the area. It's almost like I've been here before, if you know what I mean...there is a unique sense of belonging when I'm here. And it never goes away...each time I visit, I get that same sense of "knowing"...it's surreal. It's a place that feels very familiar to me.
I've only explored a bit of the area, but there are more trails I really need to figure out and explore. Maybe there is some type of treasure there; not material in nature, but maybe something even more meaningful. Someday I'll explore, but real life was calling me back home, and away I went...
No fairy sightings of course, but I will figure it out one day too, lol. Until then, I will always have my fortress of solitude readily available, minutes away when the need arises.
Thanks for checking out my share for this week's #wednesdaywalk! I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday too...and until next week!
