Walden Pond — Attraction in Concord

Good place for reflection,but definitely not my favorite natural place,perhaps I there are so many people places . Everyone needs to attach yourself with nature which was a very good experience! Beautiful pictures.I finally went to Walden pond by myself. I picked a place, and listened to the sound of the wind blowing over the water, the sounds of birds, and it was beautiful. I picked a nice place, and all the pedestrians greeted me, especially the father and daughter in the picture below. The little girl was very polite, first waved to me and greeted me”nice spot! Nice weather! “ thanks for being nice ! It recalled that when I were kid with my dad did the same thing during summer.Miss it ! life. spent two years "recluse" in this place. Some people say it is escape, some say it is sober. Probably only Thoreau himself knows.What is the essence of life? Like Thoreau said, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. “How many people “spend the most precious part of a person’s life to make money, in order to enjoy a bit of suspicious freedom in the least precious part of the time.” Egos.Being afraid of loneliness, it's just that we haven't really enjoyed loneliness. I always with friends, seems to be afraid of alone.It's just that I have never really been with loneliness. How lonely a spiritually rich person could be ? Relationship. "Time determines who you will meet in your life, your heart determines who you want to appear in your life, and your behavior determines who can stay in the end." We are all just passing through each other’s lives, Don't force the things you can't keep. Those who can let go are the richest people Life. After all, your life is your own. Whatever life you want, try to manage your own life and live what you want, not others. In this way, even if your life is short, you will have no regrets. Variety. The water of Walden Pond seems to be blue, and it seems to have turned into aquamarine. Is the lake water changed? The water of the lake has not changed, but the angle at which I stand has changed, it is me the one was changed ! Thanks ! Walden pond ! Also thanks for the nice person helped me...

Great pond and clear, clean water. But, on busy days... staff and beachgoer interactions were the opposite of great. Many rowdy people, some not so respectful of women... I was not at all comfortable by myself in the water or on the shore, so my only option was to leave after being objectified and defeated by a disrespectful group of men. I left the water in such a hury after it was safe to leave, and covered back up quick that I forgot to pee in the water. Went to use the main restrooms and was 4 minutes late to the bathrooms. A male employee was cleaning them, so I knocked and asked politely to go to use the bathroom. The employee looked at me like an object and smiled, and proceeded to shake his head smugly saying no with the most degrading look. He was also no help at all with finding somewhere else to go, he was like youre late and shrugged. It was literally 4 minutes after 7:30. I understand you are doing your job, but seriously? Veey bad look for you and the DCR. A very nice lady helped me despite how upset I was, and we found somewhere to go, behind the horse stables... How perfect, right?? Yes, I could have been there on time, but I was not aware of the bathroom closures or lack of porta potties. It was an emergency, and there is nowhere else besides woods, and nothing for emergencies, and I am not a male!

First day here all summer, and I felt degraded and objectified by fellow beach goers AND the staff. Makes...

Beautiful and peaceful place for hiking, swimming, picnicking and exploring. After leaving Boston to continue up the New England coast, my first stop was to hike around the celebrated Walden Pond in Concord, MA. My first visit. Writer, transcendentalist and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862), spent two years living in a cabin on its shore and provided the foundation for his famous 1854 work, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods." Thoreau was inspired by former enslaved woman Zilpah White, who lived in a one-room house on the common land that bordered Walden Road and made a living spinning flax into linen fibers. White's ability to provide for herself at a time when few if any other Concord women lived alone was a singular accomplishment. Thoreau's account of his experience at the pond made it famous. The land at the north end of the pond was owned by Thoreau's friend and mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, who let Thoreau use it for his experiment. Thoreau's writing is credited with encouraging a respect for Nature. Today Walden Pond is protected as part of Walden Pond State Reservation, a 335-acre state park that was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962.
