Check out this wandering by Crystal Campbell from Lisbon.

' Wayside Petals at the Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon

I started my walk on the side entrance, Av. da Republica to the Gulbenkian Museum Park, (top of map) and arranged the celestial wanderings to fit around the lake in the middle of the park. Each star on the map represented a person I would encounter on my walk, smile at, and stop to look for a wayside flower; the flowers we don't usually notice; the flowers of weeds, and take a photograph.

I had a pleasent walk, the day was drawing to a close, and the meander I took was unusual from my routine. I usually walk through the park to get to the Metro. On the way out, something bright to my left caught my eye, -and according to my map, it was recommended. What looked at first like the simple spoils of a Spring wedding, on closer inspection, was a childish hommage to the changing of the seasons, 2 childsize figures made of flowers laid out on the grass; what a perfect unprecedented ending to my walk!

  1. This sums up my observations during my chosen route for wanderings. Starting from home, till my destination, which is an action packed economic and commercial zone in South Delhi, India. I have attempted to be as descriptive and focused on people, things and thoughts that I encountered during the wandering.
