This photo is the entrance to the back road behind my apartment complex. I like to take this walk early in the mornings on busy days so I have some tranquility. The sun was shining and I have been trying to soak up the good weather while I have it.
The brush that surrounds the road was this bright green color, and the morning sun made the lighting so beautiful on the scenery. Although I can’t wait for the change to Autumn colors, I think that Summer provides the prettiest scenes.
On my walk down, I have to cross over a railroad, and every time I go past, I always wish the train would come by. I have walked this route countless times and I have always been unlucky. The tracks remind me of one my favorite movies, Stand By Me.
The stopping point on my walk is the lookout over the Penobscot River. There is a steep walking path down to the shore, but someone was meditating on the rocks, so I watched peacefully from above. This photo is my favorite that I took this day.
My dreams came true on this walk. I was able to watch the train go by, and take photos to brag to my friends. It took a couple minutes for it to pass, but I soaked it up. As I headed back, I saw some of my friends who missed the train and shared my photos.
I take a shortcut through the woods back to my apartment, and there are little walking trails. It adds to the full experience, and allows me to appreciate both a river and forest scene. The small bridges in the woods are my favorite parts, and always make me wonder how many people have walked over this bridge too.
