The Halifax............

Went to the river this evening....hoping to repeat the tranquility found at the ocean............it isn't the same .....too much human stuff intrudes..............glaring lights lining the bridge above and the fishing piers below the bridge intrude on the peaceful evening........... traffic noise, loud music and planes make it difficult to hear the river flowing............. I followed a wooden walkway to a gazebo
several feet above the water............That put my back to most of the lights and softened the view............ The constant, repeated rippling on the surface of the river was akin to the soft rocking/floating you could feel lying in a porch swing............. It is a longer drive to the ocean and its beach............ but the rewards to the soul make it worth the trip.
