Day 57: The Watcher’s Silence
Share
Today I visited the Morne Fortune Lookout, a serene spot with breathtaking views of Castries and its shimmering harbor. The path leading up was peaceful, lined with lush greenery and occasional bursts of colorful flowers. As I stood at the lookout, the view below was both vibrant and serene - the rooftops of the city mingled with the natural hues of the landscape, and the sea stretched out endlessly.
The breeze at the top carried a refreshing hint of salt and earth, mingling with the soft chatter of a few other visitors. I found a quiet corner and took out my sketchpad, trying to capture the play of light on the water and the gentle slopes of the hills.
The overlook had an old world charm, with remnants of history woven into the place. I could feel the layers of stories embedded in the place, from its colonial past to its present serenity. It was grounding yet inspiring.
As the sun began to set, the golden light cast long shadows over the city. I lingered a little longer, remembering the scene, before making my way back. It was a day of quiet beauty, a reminder of the harmony between nature and the rhythms of life.
