"In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike."

L’Invitation au Voyage

Mon enfant, ma sœur,

Songe à la douceur

D’aller là-bas vivre ensemble !

Aimer à loisir,

Aimer et mourir

Au pays qui te ressemble !

Les soleils mouillés

De ces ciels brouillés

Pour mon esprit ont les charmes

Si mystérieux

De tes traîtres yeux,

Brillant à travers leurs larmes.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

Des meubles luisants,

Polis par les ans,

Décoreraient notre chambre ;

Les plus rares fleurs

Mêlant leurs odeurs

Aux vagues senteurs de l’ambre,

Les riches plafonds,

Les miroirs profonds,

La splendeur orientale,

Tout y parlerait

À l’âme en secret

Sa douce langue natale.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

Vois sur ces canaux

Dormir ces vaisseaux

Dont l’humeur est vagabonde ;

C’est pour assouvir

Ton moindre désir

Qu’ils viennent du bout du monde.

– Les soleils couchants

Revêtent les champs,

Les canaux, la ville entière,

D’hyacinthe et d’or ;

Le monde s’endort

Dans une chaude lumière.

Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté,

Luxe, calme et volupté.

Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du mal (1857)

I couldn't resist the purples 'n pinks... Made the scene look somewhat magical ;)

薩埵峠から富士山と駿河湾

It was fine weather of the end of Golden Week holidays.

This sight is at the observatory of Satta Path in my hometown.

GW終盤は天気も良かったので、

地元、清水区の薩埵峠から見た富士山の写真です。

道路は東名高速と国道1号線、

そしてJR東海道線がここを通過します。

突風で海は荒れていました。

Lovely encounter on a walk last weekend. The weather wasn't as nice as I had hoped and it was almost too dark for photos but luckily the squirrel sat on the path where the light was slightly better than under the trees of the forest.

Autumnal path through the woods

A serene forest path winding through lush greenery, inviting exploration and tranquility.

Well groomed trail southern Catskills NY. When you live like me surrounded by urban concrete blight on my few days off when I do not have a days worth of catch up errands and the weather is actually decent even a simple woodland path can be a wonderful pleasure.
