Hidden among the greenery of the forest, in a place where time seems to stand still, stands a striking bench. It is no ordinary bench; the colours blue and orange give it a playful, almost lively character. As if it invites us to sit down for a while and escape the hustle and bustle of the big city.
For those who take a seat here, a picturesque view unfolds. The water reflects the surrounding greenery, with here and there the glint of sunbeams on the surface. Behind the bench, a bridge is visible, in the same blue-orange hues, gracefully traversing the landscape. The bridge almost seems like an extension of the bench, as if they are trying to tell a story together.
In the distance, high above the landscape, stands a stork's nest. The majestic birds are a symbol of peace and balance, a fitting backdrop for this serene spot. The gentle sound of leaves rustling in the wind and the chirping of birds fill the air. Here, on this bench in the forest, the world feels equally small and simple.
It is a place where the soul comes to rest, where all you have to do is sit and breathe. A reminder that, even in a busy world, silence is always waiting for you somewhere.
