“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― George Gordon Byron
Solitude
Time and thoughts stand still
Senses in contemplation
Serenity near
To visit Hugh

I see more of that nature theme emerging. Very expressive.

I’ve never visited The Rocky Mountains, so I’ll have to pay a visit. I quite like the sound of a train journey through the Rocky Mountains.

There’s some majestic beauty in western Canada. I went by train when I was younger, but if you rent a car in that area, you will definitely have a more personal experience.
