Hello walkers and friends!
Sometimes we walk in automatic mode, we follow familiar, known and routine paths, although there is always something beautiful that catches our attention, some detail that we discover at every moment. But sometimes we improvise, explore and discover new places, trails or streets that we have never seen, unknown routes and a different environment that makes us very curious.
On those occasions we may go without a specific direction or destination, we get carried away but at other times we do want to discover a specific new place that has been recommended to us or we have seen on a map, like a park. We are in a new city and we want to get there.
That happened to me, I was in Moscow and I saw a large green space in the area, it was a park (Troparevskiy Lesopark) and I wanted to see it. But... do you remember my walk last week? For a place that seemed half-abandoned and uninspiring, with rubbish and works that looked like they were about to start, it wasn't the place even though I knew it was close. (It's this walk: A weird walk through a lost place). And today again another #WednesdayWalk, in the community hosted by @tattoo-djay
I just sensed that I had to go to the left and better under the small canal bridge, I saw a lot of traffic above, so when I came out of the short tunnel suddenly… magic. Green magic or just a lot of green. I was still in the city, I had crossed under an avenue with traffic but there was no sound there, had I teleported?
It looked like a forest, or a beautiful spring park, with a thick carpet of grass and a small path that invited me to follow. This was the walk I wanted to do.
And the canal here seemed almost like a small river, which made the place even more charming, and you could continue (it was huge on the map), cross some cute wooden bridges and tumble from one side to the other, under trees , lots of vegetation and few people.
There were people but in other areas further on, then I went more times during the time there, and the families had barbecues, during other walks I later discovered other corners with picnic areas, taller trees and wider paths, everything increased in size, everything in a big way .
But I had already come a long way in this first foray, tired but happy, and at one point surrounded by flowers. Already in this desired spring, we expected to see life and color, and the green mantle had yellow dots in many places, a yellow that enlivened everything, that gave a touch of joy, the same joy I had for having reached where I wanted to go, now I knew where…
I would go back, to see more, to walk more. But before going back, or turning around in the same direction, I still had a nice surprise, unexpected and almost incredible one. There were horses!
In the middle of nowhere, well actually, in a park in a big city, there were two beautiful horses calmly grazing, it seemed to have come out of reality, to be in a story, or in another place very different from what I expected to find. But I had found it and it was real, the horses were real, they were alive, everything was alive, everything was real, green and beautiful, and I realized that the walk had become a beautiful story with a happy ending.
Thanks for reading! Have an inspiring and happy day.
Happy Wednesday!
