Walden Pond

This picture of Walden Pond (Thoreau Cove) was taken off Walden Street near the cabin site of Henry David Thoreau just outside of Concord, Massachusetts.  This was the one of the inspirations that Henry David Thoreau wrote about in his book, Walden; or, Life In the Woods during the two (2) year, two (2) month, and two (2) days he spent in a cabin he built near here amidst woodland owned by his mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson.  Although not quite as quiet (numerous swimmers and kayakers) as when he was here, it is a beautiful place.  The cabin site is just behind me up the hill.  To get to this place one has to take Ridge Path trail of a little over one half mile through the woodlands.
