And I'm caught in the middle of nowhere...

Well, today is more visual art related. I ended up going for a bike ride down a canal path near my town. They recently redid the path so it's covered with yellow river stones. Good thing I have a mountain bike!

Anyways, the path is rather isolated, though it runs parallel to some major roads. The odd thing is, there's enough space at some points that you could easily convince yourself you're in the woods. Some bits were just picturesque. There was smooth water on either side, draping trees, birds every which way, and squirrels. And I always had the feeling like I was the only one going in the direction I was going. For some reason, even though it's a popular walking/biking path, There are few enough people that you only see people going the other way.

But really, I wish I had a good camera. I even had a little idea of taking a panoramic picture every 100 feet or so, and combining them into a web game. But I don't have a camera. Or patience. :P

I'm probably going to bike that path again, though.
