Blue Caves

These mesmerizing colorful caves are locating in Zakynthos Greece. The different shades of blue and green in the waters bounce their vibrant colors off the shimmering rocks of the caves. The calm waters are basically transparent making it possible to see all the way to the bottom of the sea floor.

Getting to slowly kayak through the caves and enjoy the sights helps remind one to slow down every once and a while. To take in the amazing views that nature has to offer and to enjoy the simple things about life. Carelessly floating through through the caves, forgetting about anything stressful. Simply focusing on the waters, the caves, and the peaceful serenity.

I would like to give a shoutout to my friend Matt Wolek's blog titled The City That No One Sees. Matt posts picture that he has taken himself that I feel are very powerful and I encourage my viewers to take a look for themselves!

The Freeing Fairmount Park

Located just inside of Philly there is a small park, filled with little paved pathways and beautiful over hangs. My friends and I often take breaks from our college scene here at Eastern to venture into Philly for some new sights. On one adventure we stumbled upon this beautiful park called Fairmount Park. We walked the paths and stopped to relax gazing out over the railings to view the river. It was so peaceful and my friends and I are looking forward to returning for another break.

Fairmount Park gave my friends and I the opportunity to forget about our hectic lives and just enjoy the simple pleasure of being surrounded by each other and the calming scenery.

This picture was taken by my friend Lauren when we visited the park earlier this month. I remember standing next to her, leaning on the railing and saying how gorgeous this view is. It was a great day that I got to spend with some great people. We were all able to take a step back from the chaos and escape.

Bryce Canyon Amphitheater

The Bryce Canyon National Park, in Utah, is home to some great views that display the beauty of nature. The Bryce Canyon Amphitheater is one of the most well known parts given that it has a very distinct style. The eroded rocks shoot upwards in different ways and have a pinkish color to them. The rocks have been shaped over many years of being beaten by the harsh weather conditions. 

Many people travel to the national park to walk through the trails or to rest at one of the amazing cliff views to witness one of the most colorful sunsets. The rocks shine vibrantly in the setting sun and the silence breaks through any thought one might have. 

This park delivers a great opportunity to walk around and explore the strength of our world. How over time such simple things, such as rain and wind, can break down something so strong. In a way it's a perfect relation to how simple things we do in our everyday lives can someday have a huge impact.
