October Brings New Colours

This small swath of forest sites between Redstone and Athletic Campus. It sits just in front of the mountains and has mostly deciduous hardwood trees and small shrubs. This place has a small opening where there is a log that allows the sun to reach through and touch the ground. Getting to this space is relatively easy and it sits behind the Patrick gym and adjacent to the track. The character of this small area is that of refuge from the busyness of the city and college. This space is west of Spear St. and east of Prospect St. It is nestled into the back of campus behind many of the active residence halls and living areas on campus. This place provides a place to escape for a few minutes when the hecticness of life takes over. It is also insulated from the noise of the surrounding area as the trees open up to a quiet and undistrurbed piece of land where a rare moment of silence and true quiet can be achieved. Although a rare occurrence to a find an area that is devoid of human contact or noise, this place offers it and allows one to have some time to themselves. The best use for this space is to grab a book or even just some thoughts and to go and have a sit during the morning as the sun comes up over the green mountains. Not many places on campus provide so much beauty and are free from distraction but this place provides it in droves.
