Cellpic Sunday – Riverwalks

Travel has a habit of placing the improbable directly in our path. During a visit to Columbus, Georgia, Neal and I stayed in a gorgeously renovated old mill turned boutique hotel mere steps away from the Chattahoochee River and the Chattahoochee Riverwalk.
This riverwalk seemed well traveled. Time to wander somewhere unfamiliar, on the right scenery, history, rapids of the river.
Discovery is simply the moment the ordinary appears where we never expected to find it.
While sauntering along one day I noticed a glimmer just at the edge of sight. Sunlight catches something small enough to stop us, an object on the path off the riverwalk towards the water. Behold a quarter!
Ok, twenty-five cents was enough to changed my direction.


Wander Just Off Path
Sometimes discovery waits a few steps beyond the route we intended to follow.



THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES
What Was Left Behind?

Coins and waterways have crossed paths for centuries—sometimes through loss, sometimes through ritual, and sometimes through the simple human urge to leave something behind. Archaeological evidence shows intentional coin deposition in watery settings, although an isolated modern coin can just as easily be accidental. .
“What unexpected thing has stopped you during a walk , did you keep moving, or wander closer to discover its story?“
“Travel rarely announces its discoveries, some simply glint beside the path and wait for us to wander closer. You know by now that I’m on the ground with camera up close!”
