My favorite landscape includes water. It is the view from a park sitting on a bay. The water is calming. The little waves lap against the seawall and sail boats glide past.
Across the bay are the big expensive houses. Each one with a private dock. To the left stands the bridge leading out of the city. Upstate to the areas of the country that are still somewhat wild. Traffic is usually slow and I can make out the trucks and cars as they crawl across. Heading away from here. If close my eyes and concentrate I can almost feel myself sitting on a bench there in the summer sun.
