revisiting my calm place

Though there was icy rain today, on impulse as I left my workplace, I walked to this particular courtyard that I frequented a few years ago. I actually posted a photo of it in the past. There used to be a bench (I forgot if it was made of metal or stone) where I would sit during the warmer months and enjoy my lunch—it wasn’t there anymore. There were a few new garden benches scattered around and I suppose they did a little landscaping tweaks through the recent years. Interestingly, the small used bookstore beside the courtyard was still there and I managed to take a quick snapshot of a window. I missed this location and I consider it my calm place. I always imagined being there sitting on my bench...

It was foggy today and so the whole area looked like a scene from Harry Potter’s The Deathly Hallows where some windows were lit with warm white indoor lighting. This whole mini excursion was such a treat for me.
