Writer’s Workshop: Xtremely Refreshing Scene
At the Man Made Lake in Taiwan
It’s fall and the colors around us have changed. There are lesser greens but more browns and reds as we move towards winter.
Being in Asia the changes in scenery is more subtle as we do have evergreens in our region. It was nice that I was able to visit a lake and enjoy it’s tranquility .
It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city and be engulfed by nature. It was a rare opportunity for me to be seated down on a bench at the lake side to admire the scenery in front of me.
Seeing the ripples on the surface of the water and listening to the chirping of the birds in the tree temporarily transported me away from the stresses of city living and emptied up my mind of the troubling thoughts that had been clouding it.
It was great not to think about anything and just let myself Stone out. I felt so calm and rested even though it was a extremely hot being at the lake during noon.
Feeling the warmth of the sun rays which had heated up the bench made me think about all the opportunities that I have had this year. How blessed I have been to be able to meet new people and go places while travelling .
What is your favourite view this fall?

I have a cousin who loves fall but since we live in a country with only two seasons, friends from all over sent her fall photos and she posts them on instagram. I love pockets of nature like that in your photo. Cities have become concrete jungles that we do not see that much foliage anymore.

I wish we had 4 seasons too in the Philippines and I get to see only a photo of fall from the Internet and the descriptions of my students.

definitely the water. I like sitting beside water also. Seeing the wind and turtles making ripples. {:-Deb

One thing great about living in Australia has got to be the changing seasons. I mean, there’s good and bad, but the lovely colours make for awesome picture-perfect photos! 🙂
