After I got to the tower, I listened so good song with my mp3-player I didn't wanna stop there so I went a little further. I went near a little village that belongs to my home city. I drove there once before and I remembered that a train track went over the road. Oh how I hate to cross train tracks! I already saw the train "traffic light" was blinking yellow when I saw movement on my left side. I was slightly shocked when I recognized these moving creatures as horses. Oh how beautifully one brown one was running^^ I stopped my scooter on the other side of the road. I was slightly relieved it was almost midnight and so there was no one around. I was kinda embarrassed taking pictures of some strangers horses.
I experienced a great moment with the horses. I tried to move slowly to that they wouldn't be so afraid of me. I just stood there beside the road a while and this brown one which had a white spot on its forehead(it's called a star) and which I saw running before was curious of me. It came slowly closer and looked at me. I just stood there silently and smiled back at it. Then the others came closer too. Slowly and causiously. But still closer and closer. I was so amazed I just stared their beauty. I lifted slowly my hand and started to take few pics but the horses were so cautious they went farther away from me as I started to move. I stopped taking pics and stood still again a while. The black one which was with the smallest(I don't know if it was a small young horse or a pony but it was quite clear the black one was protecting it from me) came closer and was interested about my doing. But as I seemed to stand so far away and doing nothing seemed harmless, it relaxed and kept eating with other ones. One of my best movies ever is The Horse Whisperer and I really love horses. It was only one brief moment with them but I somehow felt connected with them. There was something nice to the way all of them were coming closer to me calmly and slowly as I was their friend. Well, I know now they were from a known and good horse stable and the horses were trained to ride with different kind of people everyday. But I still felt something I like to think it was a some kind of connection with me and them.
I didn't want to bother them any longer so I walked back to my scooter and noticed another beautiful place. There was a small river going on the other side of the road and as the sun set, it showed me a beautiful old bridge and water shimmering beneath it. That was already a second beautiful moment in the last ten minutes and i was again stunned by the natures beauty. After I took some pics from the bridge too, I started my scooter and left back to the birdwatchers tower to take pics from the sunset before it was all dark.
My family, well mainly my big sister, said to me last year that I'm definitely a indoor-type but I don't really think so anymore. I know I like to spend time indoors more than outdoors in summer heat but sometimes I just have to go to the nature and watch its beauty and wonders to regain my inner strength. Only music and me and exploring some new routes here and there, that's the thing that keeps me going :)
Here is some pics from the birdwatchers tower I took. They don't really show the real colors I saw with my eyes but it's still something.
As I was up on the tower I noticed how it was little wobbly but I still wasn't scared. I thought maybe my summerjob 2 years ago cured my fear of heights. My summerjob was to be a guide in a sightseeing place and one of its job was to climb to the watchtowers first "deck" and open a lock in the morning and lock it every evening. The watchtower is 21 meters high but I was able to climb it many times all the way to the top. So maybe I should say my fear of hights is gone for good ;) Here's some more pics from the tower.
The summer is finally here!! I recommend to all of you that you spend some of your vacation to explore the areas near your home(or farther), you might find something interesting! ..but remember to watch the weather reports too, don't want you to get all wet and get a summer cold either. But enjoy your summer so that you can remember the most enjoyed moments when the winter comes(and it will) again!
