The walk to the brook is serene. The entrance to the woods is\ndenoted with a sign that says Centennial <\/em>and is located just past the\ncampus police station. The walk through the woods is dotted with red leaves. There\nare some that are freshly fallen and some that have long since ventured to the\nground and have begun to break down. It is also noted that the entrance to the\npath has a partial fallen tree, so you know you are going in the right\ndirection. The path is broken up in places by wooden planks that act as bridges.\nWith the season change the air has become crisp even in the early evening air.\nThe temperature is slowly declining but as of now it sits at 62\u00b0F. At the first option to\nchoose a different path a left is taken and then at the second opportunity the\nright one is chosen. This then brings you to the miniscule and lazy stream. You\nknow you\u2019re there right after you descend from the longest bridge and it is\njust before the clearing that is uphill. It should take no more than fifteen\nminutes to get to the area when taking a leisurely walk. The walk should also\nbe taken slowly and with attention carefully paid to the surroundings. If you\nwalk to fast you miss out on half of the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When sitting on the bridge by the\nstream it is easy to find your consciousness is a state of clarity. White noise\nform interstate can be heard in the distance and a few birds chirping here and\nthere. The leaves rustle, fall, and inhibit the steady flow of the stream. A\nmajority of the leaves in this spot are yellow and green ash shadows the ground.\nLeaves practically blanket the ground and create a crunchy thicket. This is a\nplace of wholesome nature that can only be disturbed my noise pollution. I\nfound that this visit was best represented by an abstract drawing that just pin\npoints the main colors and things that I focused on while sitting there. For future\nreference this spot would be suggested for drawing, listening to music, napping,\ncoloring, or anything else of a peaceful nature. It is a place of tranquility\nand is the perfect spot to write about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
