Taking a walk with you

A quiet autumn stroll, silence and chestnut trees
206

Taking a quiet ritual stroll in Berlin through the small forest cemetery, watched over by the benevolent lady of the urban fields. On one side is nature is all but silete, on the other the muted traffic, very much like the sound of the sea.

I found the chestnut tree, and a few red squirrels scurrying about. I saved a chestnut that fell by my feet and said farewell. I am resting before our concert tonight, which will open with Peaceable Kingdom. Good wishes to everyone.

Following an autumn path
The fruit of the chestnut tree.
The chestnut tree
Saying goodby
