travel and hiking

This lone tree reminds me of the days in Wisconsin as a student. The refreashing cold air in early winter evening just like this picture.

I like to travel mainly because I feel free when in the journey, the destination may be an ending, yet the journey itself always bring so much of freedom. I enjoy the views especially from higher ground or in the airplane looking down. With the time, emotion, and environment mixed together, I feel like back turning time back to my childhood. The day before a field trip always struck me with excitement and endless expectation.

Years ago, in a flight to the US, I experienced few hours of absolute quality time to myself. During that time both physical and psychical environment all led me to face and listen to myself, a real inner self without any defense, or sugar coating answer. Later I found when I emerged myself into the nature. I could get to such “pure-self” state easier, compare to the noisy and busy daily life close to city.
