I took this photo the first time I walked to university. I was so struck by the rows of mountains which now feel comforting in the way they surround me. The bird, an Egret, which I’d never seen before but which would become familiar. The greenness, soon to be replaced with autumn leaves. And the rush of clear waters under the stepping stones that I think I could now cross blindfolded. Even though I pass this view everyday, it hasn’t got any less beautiful.
