When I was living my teen years my thinking spot was a hollow in the woods next to a cranberry bog. I didn't always think though. Sometimes I just went to a little feeder pond to catch frogs or snakes.
I like woods... I like being hidden from view or at least to think I am when I want to get away to think.
Nice video and thanks for making me remember some good times. =)
Not a problem, I understood. I did have to walk about 10 minutes, but I live close to the outskirts of town, so it was close. You would really like it! :)
What a beautiful place. It's amazing. I live in the city so it's hard for me to find places as quiet and calming as this. It's nice to see you enjoying it here though. (:
Oh Daniel. If I dived in our pond, I would go "THUNK" and crack my skull upon.
My quiet place is, erm, usually up in the top of a tree... PERFECT place to watch a runsise. Sunrise, I meant.
Actually, my best quiet place is deep, DEEEEEP in a mug of chai latte.
NO! Wait, I mean, my quiet place is actually in a book somwhere. Preferably with pictures and conversations. "For what use is a book if it has no pictures or conversations in it?"
Terry the Tripod did it all. I was out there alone, so if I wanted a second angle on a shot, I had to move the tripod and do a second take. Thanks for the question! :^)
I dove in twice! Good catch! (It was a good excuse to get in that cool water.) Left my clothes stinky though. Gah. (Sorry amans, I accidently deleted your grammar correction comment.) Guys, when she said "video taped", she meant "video tape". :^D
ok i think im goin to go to one of my quiet places this weekend maybe i can brin my camcorder...duh how else would i tape it lol justjokin but ya i mite do that
I found mine today......

I do hope you took your billfold, your gum and your library card out of your pocket before you hopped in the swamp.

You'll be proud to know that I did, Mom. Taking the stench of the swamp out of my clothing was a whole other matter though... :D

This is actually a very calming video. It's a beautiful place. I can't believe you just jumped in the river like that, though! :)
I miss having a calm place. I definitely had one as a child, it was the woods in our backyard. Thank you for reminding me.

You're welcome...the woods sound really nice. We had a few sparse trees in our backyard as a kid that I remember climbing. :)

Don't you have to watch for weird parasites in Brazil, diving into a lake like that?

Way up north in the jungle area you would, but the pests are tame in São Paulo state....ticks are a problem though. Thanks for the concern. :^)

That reminds me of Waldon's Pond...that book about the guy that lives in solitude near a lake.
I got a place of solitude too. It's a canvas!

Nice place!
Do you usually tend to swim in full clothing, though? Isn't it a bit clammy and wet waiting to dry out?
Magnulus 5 years ago
Nope! :^) That was a spur-of-the-moment dive.
And you're right about the clammy feeling. For the record, don't wear your best jeans when do it. :^)
