Walking: it hits you at first like an immense breathing in the ears. You feel the silence as if it were a great fresh wind blowing away clouds. There’s the silence of woodland. Clumps and groves of trees form shifting, uncertain walls around us. We walk along existing paths, narrow winding strips of beaten earth. We quickly lose our sense of direction. That silence is tremulous, uneasy. Then there’s the silence of tough summer afternoon walks across the flank of a mountain, stony paths, exposed to an uncompromising sun. Anonymous
About This Quote

Walking is a very enjoyable activity. One of the most enjoyable things about walking is that you can hear the sounds around you. You can hear birds singing, leaves rustling in the wind, grass growing, and your footsteps crunching on the ground. Walking allows you to hear the aspects of nature that surround you.

There are different types of walking that you can do such as mountain climbing, hiking, and road walking. When you walk along a path it creates a calm and quiet atmosphere. You can also feel the sun's heat on your skin and hear the breeze rustling through the trees.

The sound of a loud wind blowing through trees can make you feel nervous especially if there is no one around you to listen to it or if there are people close to where it is coming from. When you walk at night there is a sudden silence that makes everything seem quiet and private.
