Night Walking

Vorago said:
As much as I like the idea an sich, I don't like the idea of walking around for fun in my neighbourhood or a public park for that reason (not hard to guess what signal you're broadcasting while walking in the park at night...)


Yeah, I pretty much stay away from parks at night.

This morning I went fishing and I accessed my fishing hole through a park. There seemed to be some shady happenings going on around the bathroom area even at 8 in morning. :scowl:

I agree with you, though with my schedule I go for walks just as the sun is coming up in the morning. I used to walk late at night though.

Same thing, there is no traffic. No one else is really up yet so it's peaceful. Best of all is the natural world is just coming to life and the only sounds are the river and the birds.

There is nothing better than a walk at odd hours to refresh your spirit. In today's hectic world, it is such a breath of fresh air (literally and figuratively).
 
I find that I take walks between 3-6am, tends to be a sunday morning for me, because its real quiet, everyone has gone to bed, no drunks fighting, no police screaming around (usually).
Can walk for up to 2 hours, but thats cuz I go exploring.

I especially enjoy it after having spent all day trapped in a theatre, its a nice time to relax after, what can be a very long and tiring day.
 
definitely with the night walking practice. it was in my blood even in teen years, at expense of justified parental wrath if I got caught. mischief was never and is not the intent. night is unique. open yet private. dark yet illuminated. currently love night walking with a very selective custom mix of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, and legacy Genesis for night walking with MD player. haven't upgraded to iPod yet. there have been fatal moiuntain lion attacks in this area, in broad daylight, so that perhaps adds a little thrill, if not outright paranoia. then again, I'm a stephen king fan.
 
I usually run after work (5-6ish), but with the summer heat and humidity around here, I found myself going out anywhere from 9-11. The humidity is still pretty high, but the temps have cooled nicely by this time.
