My safe space — nature

When I feel upset, I sit and look at nature and I feel better.

I was sitting on the balcony when I took this picture. I have a balcony that looks onto the street and one that looks over nature, but I prefer nature.

You can see a child’s toy down there, that got left behind. It’s not rubbish. I get upset when I see rubbish in nature. People throw it because they don’t have a proper place to throw garbage so they throw it anywhere, or perhaps they don’t care about making things dirty. We should do something that forbids people to throw rubbish in nature.

I really liked the photography homework this week, to take pictures of the safe space. This was the first time I really felt I enjoyed the homework topic and did something new.
