Ok where is this Place as I would love to go there, I have been to Huddersfield many a time and I certainly never found this Place. I used to have a couple of Contracts up there, but if I would have known about this Place I would have gone there for a couple of hours lol to calm down before I saw the next Customer. This Place to me looks relaxing peaceful and somewhere to go to shut everything out.

Wow... This picture is a beautifully serene area where I can stay if I need time alone... This would be a great "thinking place". I can commune with nature, take in the plants, the animals and the unique smell of the forest. I'd love to relax here when I want to just be myself and be carefree... Nice picture... Wish we had something like this where I live...

it is a very special place, i honestly do not feel there is anything quite like it for me anywhere on earth. It connects me to the place of my birth and ill often drift back in time and just soak up the feeling

I saw the picture and felt a wave of calm and serenity ... The image you have captured speaks a thousand words ... It's almost like surrendering yourself to the tranquility of the woods, losing yourself amidst the sounds and smells of the woodland ... the images shows you what it would be like in spring, buds blossomming; in winter you can picture the bare trees, possibly snow covered; in autumn the ground full of coloured leaves, like an image from a postcard ...and summer, when you get a chance to dip your feet in the passing brook .. You have indeed found a very special place - perfect for realising your thoughts.

what a glorious place to sit beneath the tree and listen to the sounds of the creatures of the woods! how wonderful it would be to sit and listen and meditate for hours. I can almost see the faeries playing!

this looks like a place i used to play as a child. it was in a public park. it reminds me of fairies and elves. i love how there is a little part of the ground going out into the water. reminds me of Ireland and magic

What the picture says to me? "Come and visit" It brings me calm and a feeling of peace. MY kind of place :) It's interesting how some places do give us that kind of quiet feeling that make us feel good. By the picture this is one of them.

thats a big plus for you my friend on both points. I spent my childhood in this place it is at the edge of a small village called Skelmanthorpe in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the North of England, we took that picture last summer, but it has a natural beauty whatever the season. Blessed be. Strange you should mention the association with god. In past times, early Christians would worship in this place when they had to hide from persicution. I wonder if that has anything to do with the tranquility I always feel when I go sit down there.

It looks like a few places close to where I live that I haven't been in a while and makes me want to go back to them, it's just easier in the summer when there's not so much mud. I still go in the winter just not very often I should go more often, it's important to experience nature. I have my own garden now though so I can experience it right outside my back door now, and control what's growing.

The place does give a peace of mind, a right place for those trying to find solitude. Unlike other young adults who love nothing but crowded places like disco pubs, I'd rather go to some secluded places where I can think things over and free myself from the hassles of the busy life in the urban. It really can freshen you up. :)

It looks absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Definitely the sort of place that I could go and relax and meditate about things to do with my life. A wonderful place to feel connected with nature and just spend some time deep in thought. I really love the picture, Eskarena! I can see why that place would be so special to you. Just seeing it in a picture alone isn't the same as being there, I know, but it certainly looks like a magical place to me! ^_^

blessed be, the picture is evocative of my childhood, i would often pitch a tent by that stream and spent many a happy day just relaxing there. I think we have lost so much by not being able to allow children to behaiv like this. As an adult i often find myself drifting there when i need space to sit and think things through

Well they say a picture speaks a thousand words and how true that saying is! It looks like the kind of place you went to when you were kids to make rope swings and mess about in the water, then a place to sit and think as you get older and maybe take a picnic there - you could write a whole book on the thoughts it conjures up! Brightest blessings my friend!
