Hi @slowwalker and thank you for sharing such beautiful photographs, you are lucky to live very close to green park area, that is something we do not have in big cities. Maybe that is the reason why people just stay in and do not move much. I love that big tree behind the stone wall, it makes an impression to be in countryside. Seeing that reading lady that reminds me time about 10 -20 years ago that was a favorite thing for people reading outside. Nostalgic moments :)
Reading a book in such a peaceful place is luck in our life, in my guess.
The important thing is the happiness is depending on not what he has but what he is surrounded by.
Beautifully said, I can remember my mother who was not happy when she was alone in her home country although she has friends and people speaking her language, now in foreign country but with her grandson who is already 14 y.o. she is happy even though very busy some of the days :)
