Message: <blockquote data-quote="SaskiaKC" data-source="post: 2170419" data-attributes="member: 487111">This is one reason (as I was reminded by your lovely photo of the Big Dipper) that I want to move to the little town. The apartment building is about a mile outside the town itself, up a mountainside, and while I assume the building has some outdoor lighting of its own, it is not surrounded by town lights. It is surrounded by forest land and open fields. I have been thinking a lot about the opportunities there would be for walking on something besides pavement, surrounded by trees and open space instead of concrete and steel and plate-glass; your photo reminded me that there may also be open sky, with stars and the moon. So, do I want to exchange the convenience of being able to walk to buy food for the joy of being able to walk on the actual Earth? Am I willing to take a scheduled bus to town to buy food, and walk in nature; or walk among shops, on pavement, and try to find transport to local "natural" areas? That is the $64,000 question!</blockquote>
