Fourth Journey Day 70: Golden Hour Leaves
The day unfolded gently as I spent my afternoon in the Palmentuin, a haven of royal palms swaying gracefully in the bright sunlight. The towering trees created a canopy of shade, their long fronds gently rustling in the breeze. As I walked along the neatly arranged paths, I felt a sense of serenity envelop me, far removed from the bustling city nearby.
The occasional chirping of birds and the sight of children playing in the open spaces added to the tranquil charm of the park. I found a quiet bench and sat for a while, sketching the intricate play of light and shadow created by the leaves. Each sketch captured the fluid lines and natural patterns of the palm trees, reminding me of how nature effortlessly weaves beauty.
Before leaving, I paused at a small open area where local families gathered, their laughter mingling with the ambient sounds of the garden. It was a poignant moment of community and connection in the midst of this green retreat.
As the sun began to set, the golden light filtering through the trees bathed everything in a warm glow. I left the Palmentuin with a light heart and a refreshed spirit, carrying the essence of its serenity with me into the evening.
