The path to the brea dam is pretty confusing. There are lots of small winding lanes and half-trodden paths that lead to nowhere. Add to the formula the essence of true nature, with only the sounds of rustling leaves and the calling of birds.
Half an hour into the hike, I added to the cacophony of silence with my labored breathing.
It's particularly confusing when you meet a split in the road with no markers, and each lane is just as winding and confusing as the on you left.

A walk around Minterne Gardens in Dorset.
The garden walk is about 1 mile in a horseshoe shape.
You can take different paths on the last leg of the walk, we went on the upper path.
Various paths.
Trees
Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.
Several miles back from the main Mt St. Helens blast site, the destruction was considerably less and a few trees were left standing. These dead trees are still a vivid reminder of the powerful forces of nature even 30 years later.
the road into Kelly Basin, west coast Tasmania. It used to be a rail track (I think) - very narrow for a car to drive along.

Fiumedinisi (ME), eve of the Feast of Our Lady of the Annunciation, 2013: this is a "penitential procession" understood as "the Travels" (or also commonly called "procession of kneeling"), in which the faithful, almost all women, proceeding on their knees, sometimes even barefoot, along a narrow street, about 800 meters long, almost always dark, lit only in some places, especially illuminated by the dim light from robust candles, also used as support from every penitent; the procession starts inside the church of S. Peter, to continue until the stairway in front of the Cathedral (which is also a Marian Shrine), who once traveled, still on their knees, will bring every penitent devout inside the Sanctuary, always proceeding on their knees, in front of the statues of Our Lady and Angel Gabriel, placed one in front of the other, at the foot of the main altar ....
The path that leads you out of Chopwell Forest, or leads you in. Its a fantastic walk just getting to the main part of the forest and when you are done in there, you have this
This walking path is at Moore State Park. The park is located in Paxton, Massachusetts only about a 10 minute drive from my house. Autumn color has been somewhat disappointing this year in central New England.
Access to the Red Pagoda and Shiaozhai Temple is via this entrance gate and wavy floor bridge. The temple at the top is a Taoist Temple dedicated to the god Mansjuri.
After building the Three Gorges Dam and closing its gates, the Yangtze River water backed up all the way to Chongqing. It would also have placed the bottom levels of the Red Pagoda underwater in the middle of the river. So, the Chinese Government authorized construction of a coffer dam around the site. Shibaozhai is now an island in the Yangtze River.
