CELESTE

"I enjoy walking in search of things to capture with my camera. I love spending time on my own, it's my time of reflection"

ANDREA

"I tend to say that walking is a daily practice for people who live in a town, as there are no buses which can get you nearer from one place to another place."

PAULA

" I do not feel a connection with nature,"

Transcendentalists believed that nature was the best place to understand truth due to its inherent purity and wisdom.

Transcendentalism was a religious, philosophical and literary movement that began in New England between 1836 and 1860.

The transcendentalists believed that because of its connection to God, the natural world was an infinitely superior source of knowledge .

Thoreau portrayed the idea that wilderness was more of an attitude than an attribute

“WALKING” (1850) represents a tribute to live and survive in the wilderness of nature.

The West

Thoreau develops the metaphor of "the West." The west, the direction in which he prefers to walk, evokes the American frontier and the vast,

Even in deep thinking we are "walking" in our way to a trascendental journey. "In my head Iam not where my body is- - I'm out of my senses" (Thoreau 1850, p. 4)
