Visitation to Tropical Farm – Part Three of Three

On day 3, we did some sharing. Follow by election of new committees for the society. The camp ends at noon, at first day, I not use to the environment. No electric supply, limited water supply. Slowly I adapt the environment, especially during night time, when there’s no electric supply. I can see the stars clearly, the moonlight shining; I can see my own shadow during night time. Bugs singing, night breeze, this is a scene that I will never get when I’m in the city. I like it very much. The third day of our camp, and is time to go back to the city. The sheep had given us some souvenir (shit) when they came steal our lunch. Here’s some panoramic photos that I took during my stay at the garden. ------------- End of Post ------------ Recap Previous Post 1. Visitation to Tropical Farm – Part One of Three 2.

There’s a mysterious power in nature which keep on alive, and we have to cherish that gift.” Ya, that’s true. Sometime we just so take things for granted :S Okey, let’s get back to the second day of my camp. I woke at 6.24am, had a morning jog with the campers. The air was damn fresh here, the morning mist were cold. The grass, trees, birds, sun, win, bugs, air, are all wakening up to start their day. In the nature all of this was very obvious, I like the fog, when I inhale, the sweetness, freshness of the air all goes into my lungs. It feels really good :) 100% no pollution, is hard to imagine is the world back to Stone Age. No pollution, no computers...
