Calm in the Heart of the City

When living in the metro, one has to find ways to take a breather in the midst of the hustle and bustle.  I usually need to take a few breaths in between work-weeks and I look for spots in the metro to unwind.  Most often than not, I find myself gravitating to the bay.  I usually sit by the breakwater, be still and watch the sun set. If my favorite taho vendor is around, I get a warm one and catch up with him.  My favorite taho vendor has weathered quite a few storms with me.  

 

This is the kind of beauty I see on a good day.  

This kind of beauty allows you to take deep breaths in between work-weeks.











Calming.  Relaxing.  Breathtaking.  These scenes make you appreciate the beauty of life.











Fiery intensity.







Quiet moments by the bay rejuvenate the mind, renew the spirit and feed the soul.










There is a peace that envelopes me when I see visions such as these.  There is a sense of calm, of well-being.  I find my center, my inner strength.
