All astrology aside...I mean really, do any of you out there have places you go that just feel make you feel better?

Walking around my neighborhood just makes me feel better.  It is ... well, was, kinda still is "European", and still has a large central/eastern European immigrant population.  The little cafe lined plaza, the European apothecary, the pedestrian street, it's all very charming.  The street lamps are even a gift from the city of Hamburg or something.  I discovered it when I returned from Paris and was really depressed to be back in America.  It's not Paris.  But it's about as good as is gets around here.

There is also a wonderful beach/harbor/migratory bird sanctuary at the end of my street.  

But when I need to seriously take a break to reflect, I like to go to Bailey's Harbor, Wisconsin:

I enjoy walking by the river that runs to the city. Though I've renamed the river "Paskajoki". The natives were not amused...

I'm certain that there are lots of rivers named that. :-) The fancy part of Helsinki where I used to live (a nice spot in Kruununhaka) is "Paskalampi" in very old maps.

Mountains make me feel better.

Ooooh, that's lovely. How about the ET meetup being in your back garden with a barbecue ?

Well apart from the transport problems in getting here, andare really only accessible by train from the south.(we are 30 miles from the nearest Railway station) and the unreliable weather.

I will sort something like that for the sunny months next year.

If you go out of the other side of my house and up to the top of the hill, then you're standing right in the middle albeit in the far distance, of one of In wales Brecon beacon photos from a lot earlier in the year (maybe even last year)

Not quite my back garden...

...but near enough.

Of course I don't necessarily believe in power spots. But if I did, my living room and studio would possibly count as 'interesting.'
