And if you're not paying much attention to what can be seen in the forest, you'll be breathing in that great air, all the forest smells. Mmmmm!<BR/>Mardel: I think you might be right about the odd attraction of the industrial -- nicely put. <BR/>Walking through the trees, as does Patricia, you might not get the view but you have all the other benefits of trees -- the sense of enclosure, the smells, the sounds, etc.,<BR/>Orane: Vous êtes bien chançeuses d'avoir un forêt si proche pour vos randonnées! (excuse my errors en français, s'il vous plaît) Pater would be especially envious of the x-country skiing so nearby.<BR/>LBR: I can't think what 97F translates to in Celsius, but I know it's way too hot for running and I'd probably only walk there in the evenings. Whew! It wouldn't matter how beautiful the trails are, I would not be on them in that heat! (We've already had frost a few nights).materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-37149282440877120152008-10-27T16:20:00.000-07:002008-10-27T16:20:00.000-07:00I have not walked outdoors much in the last six mo...I have not walked outdoors much in the last six months and I so miss it. There are so many lovely lake near streets in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago that I dearly miss. I understand there are walking trails in Valencia but as it is still 97 degrees I haven't gotten out to try them. I can assure you, even without ever trying them,that they are not as beautiful as your trails.La Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-35423773983308857842008-10-27T07:28:00.000-07:002008-10-27T07:28:00.000-07:00Un très joli parcours, mater, je vous envie.

Mon circuit est beaucoup plus modeste, en forêt tout près de chez moi,d'environ 1KLM et accessible à l'année longue, je peux y faire du ski de randonnée en hiver. La course et le ski me calment et m'aident remettre les choses en place. Rien besoin de plus vraiment! <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>OraneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-76170828801564111652008-10-27T04:59:00.000-07:002008-10-27T04:59:00.000-07:00The photos in this post and the previous are just ...The photos in this post and the previous are just lovely and I love the contrast and juxtapositions of industry, city skyline, and natural beauty. What a lucky and lovely confluence of inputs. I have always found the industrial to be oddly beautiful despite its tendencies toward destruction, and perhaps that is part of its attraction, the necessity and the balancing act that is required.<BR/><BR/>I am afraid my walks are mostly through the trees, still with some of their leaves at most, and not nearly so spectacular. I will try to remember to take a camera.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-37048348247344560182008-10-27T00:29:00.000-07:002008-10-27T00:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for the lovely tour!

I'm afraid that when I go walking it's usually with a group of people and last time I realized that I rarely take in the view as we're too busy talking! (Although we are also usually in dense forest, so no real 'view' until we get to the top of the hill.) Mostly my eyes are on the ground, making sure I don't trip. PatriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
