The Three Places

     The first place our class went to was a view point on campus just a short walk  from our class. There is a small parking lot to my right,  on my left is the way i came from my classroom, in front of me i can see in the distance hills, houses and part of town, and behind me a pathway leading to a building with the forest in close quarters. My favorite part of this place (an most out door places) is the horizon, particularly because i love the feeling of looking out into the distance, and because i know that there is always an animal near by. The very first thing that is different about this place from the others is the fact that it is out doors and that i've never been there before. Its snowy, cold (which some people might hate) but thats fine with me, and its a place i have never been. This place can shape the way i and others feel, or even how to spend our time, if people ever want to come back to this view point. I definitely  makes me want to be outdoors more and for summer to hurry up and get here.
     The second place we went too was the woods center. Of course indoors is a lot warmer and more comfortable there are manny places to sit in the woods center, and lots of seating can mean only one thing, there are people here. Unlike the view point where there wasn't very many people, there is an increased amount here, but yet it is not over crowded. There is all kinds of things in here pictures, plants, a place to get food, the sound of the voices. I think a lot of people come here because they like the atmosphere, it's very comfortable and has a laid back air to it, and there is always some thing to do here. Some might not like it because they might like a different place all together or somewhere thats more secluded and personal, where as the woods center is very public and open.
     The third place is my place. You can call it the wilderness, the out doors, outside any one of those will do. Anywhere there is sky above me ground beneath me, that is my place. I could describe this place in a multitude of ways with trees, rocks and grass, even snow on the ground. Mountains to climb, rivers to swim across, and trails through the woods to explore. So much could be discovered here in my place. But some may not like the outdoors because it's foreboding or possibly dangerous, or they just don't like the outdoors. It is very different from being indoors because indoors it feels so closed off from the wilderness, but outdoors i feel free to do as i please and i enjoy its wide open space that goes on for miles.

    My home is the house where i grew up in.
