There are so many of us who love peace and quiet when we are outside don’t we? Whether it’s sitting on a beach and hearing the waves hitting the shore or walking in a park with very few people around and getting a chance to lose oneself amidst all the greenery, we all love some fresh air far away from our busy city lives.
I have always been a passionate traveller and during any of my visits, I always make it a point to visit the ‘quiet places’ to take in some ‘quiet moments’.
I loved the experience of watching the sunset while taking a boat ride off the coast of Kuwait.
Brooklyn Bridge Park was the perfect place to see Manhattan by night. Not too many people around and to top it all, Manhattan looked really beautiful.
Kalemegdan Fort in Belgrade, Serbia gives you a bird’s eye view of the city. While the February chill was too much to take, the evening looked beautiful.
You must be wondering as to how is it possible to get ‘quiet places’ in New York. But I did find Central Park to be really beautiful and peaceful as well. It seemed like the perfect place to get away from the busy city life.
Bruges is up there as one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The quaint little town makes you want to come back again and again.
My first experience of plucking pumpkins in Connecticut. I guess the only so called ‘noise’ in these farms is just the wind howling away.
These are some of the landscapes I encountered during my roadtrips in the USA last year.
Muscat, Oman is really tranquil with it’s lovely beaches, rocky mountains and winding roads. Add to that you don’t see too many people around for miles and miles and you definitely know that beauty has an address.
Yes, we do have farms in Kuwait. While the summers are more than 120 degree Fahrenheit, the winters could be close to 50 degree Fahrenheit. So these farms provide a perfect getaway from our busy lives.

Love these photos. Places with water radiate peace. But you’ve also included the less obvious places. And your post makes me realise I live but a step away from such places.

Oh you should definitely think about visiting some of them once we resume travel again :).

I haven’t finished exploring my own locale… once I’ve done that I might venture further
