"The smell of manure, of sun on foliage, of evaporating water, rose to my head; two steps farther,
and I could look down into the vegetable garden enclosed within its tall pale of reeds - rich chocolate
earth studded emerald green, frothed with the white of cauliflowers, jeweled with the purple globes
of eggplant and the scarlet wealth of tomatoes."
- Doris Lessing, The Habit of Loving
Not sure of the name of this lake, but it's next to the River Rib. I had lunch there on 18 August 2012 during a walk in the Braughing/Standon/Latchford area of Hertfordshire.
If you ever make it to Vancouver Island In British Columbia, be sure to visit Butchard Gardens. I was unprepared and very pleasantly surprised when I finally made it after being told the same by others. The gardens here are as exquisite. Unlike my wife I’m no gardener, and quite frankly the thought of spending a day in a garden, while relaxing, is not at the top of my list. Butchard Gardens changed that and after about eight hours of walking the grounds, I wished I had more time. Anyway, I was just sitting by a walkway taking a break when I snapped this.

Starting this month, we are making the street food walk in old Delhi a regular feature of our calendar. Moreover, the route we have chosen is a combination of food stops & some hidden gems of history in old Delhi. Hence the title ‘Heritage Walk & Street Food’. The group met at Jama Masjid, one of the most famous landmarks of Delhi & negotiated our way to Sitaram Bazaar, the end point for this heritage trail. Getting there can be quite a task though. Delhi Metro has made the old city easily accessible, but once out of the metro, get ready to face the madness here. The nearest metro station is Chawri Bazaar & the road leading from Chawri Bazaar to Jama Masjid is perpetually jam packed. There are rickshaws, hand pulled carts, scooters, cars, dogs & a sea of humanity all trying to keep going. One wrong move & the traffic comes to a standstill!!
But where there is a will, there is a way. And all of us, on hungry stomachs were motivated enough to brave it. Our first food stop was Jain Coffee House, a small shop in a complex called Raghuganj in Chawri Bazaar. This place is known for fruit sandwiches, shakes & cold coffee! One can have Mango, grapes, cheeku, apple, pineapple, besides vegetable & samosa sandwiches. The cold coffee here is an absolute delight & an excellent combination with sandwiches. Somewhat of a contrast to the sweet flavor was the fare at Hiralal Chaat Bhandar. They are known for kulle or kuliya ki chaat, a platter of which looks colourful & damn tempting. This preparation has a base which could be of any fruit or vegetable like potato, tomato, mango, cucumber, watermelon, or even banana. The base is carved like a bowl & then filled with boiled gram, spices, pomegranate & topped with a dash of lemon. Just imagine all the colours! And it has a tangy, spicy taste!
From here the group visited a small mosque called Ruknuddaulah Masjid. Practically nothing is known about this mosque. So much so, we don’t even find it mentioned in the famous Zafar Hasan list of monuments. Still, it is a well kept place, maintained by a local gentleman from the neighbourhood of Churiwalan, Mr. Nuruddin. He is a darner by profession & extremely welcoming. He is delighted if anyone expresses an interest in his mosque. Further from here, we wove our way through the traffic to reach Ashok Chaat Bhandar near Chawri Bazaar metro station. Here, we had platefuls of golgappas, prepared like chaat & kalmi vade. The last food stop was the legendary Kuremal Kulfiwala. His fame has encouraged others to open kulfi shops near the original one, but they don’t match his quality & variety. One gets all kinds of kulfis that can be imagines: imli/tamarind, phalsa/black currant, Jamun, Paan, Rose, shareefa/custard apple, lichi/lychee & kulfi stuffed in mango fruit as well!
Just a little further from the kulfi shop was the last point of our walk, a traditional haveli in Sitaram Bazaar. We reached here towards dusk & the dalans were all lighted up, reminding one of yesteryears. We climbed to the terrace of the haveli & could see pigeons flying on formations & following the sharp whistles of their trainers. Pigeon rearing is a very popular past time in old Delhi & one could see a flock with their owner on almost every rooftop. A fitting finale to the heritage walk, indeed!

I look at this image and I literally smell the fresh air of the forest. It's interesting how the different sensory inputs can trigger sense memories. Often it is a scent that will trigger a memory or emotion. (That's why perfume is a billion dollar industry). At least in my case it is rare for something visual to trigger a scent. However this one does it. For me it's better than a bottle of air freshener.
Next time you are in San Francisco take the short drive to the Muir Wood National Monument. While you are there, whisper a big Thank You for the late John Muir that convinced President Teddy Roosevelt to forever protect our greatest national treasures including Yosemite, Sequoia, the grand Canyon and more.

The Vosges mountains offer lots of interesting woods to walk and sniff in. We all had a great time. Now just have to recover from vacation ;-)
Cherry Blossoms abound in Branch Brook Park. Newark, NJ.
That's Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in the background.
5 months of recovery after my knee operation in may I had my first long walking tour in the woods around Bruges.
By coincidence it happened to be the 100th walk since I joined the local walking association with a total of nearly 2000 kilometers on my counter.
Thanks to the sun and welcome of autumn colours I had a great reassurance for greater projects and hikes to come.
Walk in Nauplion in the Peloponnese. We start in the city on the beach promenade Arvanitia. We see the Bourdzi castle and then continue to the sandy beach Paralia Karathonas (in part two we go up the cliff and visit the rock chapel).
