Backpacking

On the praitie I really enjoyed the range of colours under foot, and the vegetation. My heart sang every time I spotted some tiny plant thriving in the shelter of a small rock.

Out on foot on the prairie can induce either a feeling of being embraced by the land or swallowed up by the land. Because it is always rolling plains, under the right light, it can also cause a bit ot motion sickness. When we moved from forest to prairie in 1992, the feeling was being embraced and connected and it felt good. Forests can produce a feeling of separation from the land on which the forest grows because the forest hides the shape of the land.

*Neo*: Whoah!

I still am not used to plains. Too much sky lol

Yeah, I grew up in Kitchener when it was small enough that it was hard to get lost but I have had some "fun" experiences navigating larger cities.

I know of a few that are very difficult to try and come up with simple directions to get from A to B or whatever ...

I am so easily turned around that Google Maps has been an absolute god-send for me, although it does often have 'odd' route suggestions, and seems quite unable to keep up with my City's on-going road construction nightmares.
