For my second art date I wanted to find a place that was relaxing, calming, and was beautiful enough to inspire. I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon it while working.
Part of my job is supervising trash pickup crews one day a week at SCC. The “consumers” and I were looking for a messy spot when I spotted this road, I randomly followed it for awhile but it seemed never to end. I think that the college uses it for an access road as well as a jogging/running path.
The road winds around the back side of the campus, but is so far away from the main school buildings that no noise penetrates. Since I was not alone I was unable to wander, but soon returned by myself. I still have not found the end of the road though.
The road has various stages to it. There is a small bamboo forest, a creek with a wooden bridge that rattles and sways when you drive over, and tall leafy trees that talk when the wind blows through (and at SCC the wind is always blowing through). In one section the trees hang over the car so it would appear you were driving into a tree tunnel.
I drove for a while, and then got out to walk and take pictures. I wanted to collect images not just to show you where I have been, but to add to a small image bank I use for digital work. I had an amazing time and was both inspired and relaxed on the ride home.
