"...the babbling brook beside our rendevouz."

I have recently been obsessed about finding the perfect place near a babbling brook. I love the sound and the smell. :love:

Do you have that special place just for you, somewhere out there in the wild? And what is your favorite place "out there" to just sit and relax?

I don't really know any wild places, actually! But I do absolutely love the lake around Bethesda Terrace, in Central Park, especially rowing a boat in it. It's where I want to be married.

I love hiking! But its not that easy for me to out into the wild wilderness I would say the two places I enjoyed the most and felt peoceful was this lake in the adirondacks and when I went hiking with my bro in Santa Fe even though I fell on a cactus and had needles all over my arm haha.

Anyway my place is climbing Cave Hill. One of the mountains overlooking Belfast. It's calm and peaceful up there with many ancient Celtic graves. I took these on my climbs years ago.

edit: One more. This is actually the best spot - over the lake.

The most perfect, ideal place for me is a lakeside fog... I feel so relaxed when I think about it. No one but me....

No you did not xD Seriously?

Yes! In.. 2004? Yeah, somewhere around that. It was only a temporary submersion because a friend and I wanted to see if we could do it. It's not still there or anything. That would've been too cool for me.

That is badass, my friend.

also! There is little that compares to hiking in the Utah mountains.

I've never been to Utah but I heard it is incredibly beautiful. I'll probably pass through there whenever I take a road trip to Seattle or San Diego during either winter or spring break.

Close, Chris.

<i>Somehow in reason, I lost sight of seasons.
I'm growin' out, growin' in.
Sometimes in evenings, when daylight was needed
I thought I'd never see you again.
Are you still with me, are you still with me?

I'm with you in singing skies and dancing waters
laughing children growing old
And in the heart and in the spirit
And in the truth when it is told.

If my faith should falter
And I should forsake you, and find myself turning away
Will you still be there, will you still be there?

I'll be there in singing skies and dancing waters
laughing children growing old
And in the heart and in the spirit
And in the truth when it is told.</i>
