The Wooden Bridge to a Quiet Dream

At some point in life, all you need to do is to close your eyes, inhale deeply and get immersed in the nature around you. This is precisely how I felt when I entered this tranquil park. It was a day when everything felt very gentle and the bustle of the city seemed so distant. The atmosphere under the tall trees was rather cool, while the grass covering the park had a soothing effect on my eyes. The reason why I took these photos is that they look like a dreamy scene which has no sense of time.

While taking my stroll, one of the first things that caught my attention was an unusually unique wooden bench. In these pictures, one can see that this bench is made of one large log of wood supported by two round smaller logs. It just looks like something that belongs to the earth and grew from the earth. It is located ideally in between two huge and old trees with the bark. Sitting on such wooden bench was a feeling like a big embrace from Mother Nature. Looking at the green grass and the tiny pebbles on the ground below made me feel connected to the earth and its beauty. Some green leaves began growing on the sides of the huge trees indicating that life moves forward.

Further along, there is another beautiful spot for me. This is a tiny wooden bridge with purple metal railings. From the pictures, it seems like an entrance to a mysterious garden. The dark green leaves of the trees create a shadowy frame above the bridge. When you look through the railings of the bridge, you will see a calm area with grass and trees in the background. To stand at this bridge is really a great pleasure for me. It gave me the feeling that there are always some "bridges" needed in our lives; they are small moments of tranquility that make us go through from our noisy and stressed life to calmness.

It is nice that these photos have such a soft and dark edge. They do not present the bright and noisy colors; instead, they give us the soft greens, deep browns, and whites. It is the place where one can hear birds' songs and rustling of leaves in the wind.
