That's how I relax - by getting out and going for a hike, breathing fresh air, listening to the wind, and surveying the natural world around me. I am most contented when I can look in every direction and know that, if I really wanted to, I could march off and explore to my heart's content.
The second I stepped out of the car, I could feel myself relaxing. Ahhhh...why don't I do this more often? Why will I never be able to do it often enough?

Much more relaxed.
A soggy place to go hiking sometime.

If you had become a forest ranger or something comparable (which is what I would have guessed way back when), I wonder if your love of the outdoors and the relaxation you find in it would be the same.
That's a good question and I honestly don't know the answer. Way back when, I made a decision not to pursue a career in music because I was afraid that it would start to become less of a pleasure and more of an obligation (resulting in a lessening of enjoyment).
Maybe it was a good decision. Maybe it was a bad one. Who knows?
My ultimate dream job is to get paid to hike around and explore places. Know of anyone who's looking to fill a position like that?
Gorgeous pictures!
