Trek Assessment #2

A time when I felt most peaceful over the duration of these past treks, was when I was standing next to a cornfield on the side of the road and there were no cars to be seen for sometime now. The wind was blowing softly, but briskly through the air. As the wind passed by it paused to take hold of the cornfield, moving it about, controlling it like the current of a river, with waves like calming tide. I moved the camera back and forth and around slowly, capturing a serene moment that could only be appreciated when alone and solitary.

A sense of peace and content came to me another time when I was off recording sounds on my first trek, out in the wilderness of Pleasant Valley Park. Standing in the middle of a dry field on top a large hill, I was grace with a euphoric calmness from the soft chirping of crickets and other woodland insects. The white noise of their song filled my ears and cast my body into comfortable lull.
