first glimpse of Walden Pond
Originally uploaded by wereldmuis.
I went for a hike at Walden Pond today! This was a momentous occasion, since I admired Thoreau very much as a child. When I grew up, less so. But coming here reminded me of the way I used to feel, and made me curious to learn more about Thoreau, so I'm going to look for a good biography, and maybe revisit some of his books.
I came in to the Pond via Emerson's Cliff Trail. I found it a little ironic that the trail around the pond is fenced in. I climbed through the fence, which you're probably not supposed to do. I was probably violating some rules about trail erosion, but I trumphantly felt like I was stickin' it to the man.
