Today, I want to write about external factors which can complicate our photo walk on the streets of our city. Of course, other humans by themselves can also belong to external factors, but today, I will not focus on other people.
The first thing which came to my mind is the weather. In general, for me, the weather is not as big a problem as for other people. For example, I love walking when it’s cold. We should adequately prepare ourselves to walk in the minus temperatures. First of all, comfortable and warm shoes are the basis of such preparations. Winter hat, warm underpants, and gloves are also vital equipment if we want to spend time outside during the winter. Winters in Poland can freeze us to the marrow. If you start to get a freeze during your walk, there is 100% of certainty, that you will soon end your stroll, and go back home.
Nevertheless, if it’s too hot, it can also complicate our wandering. Thus, during the summer, I always have a cap and a bottle of water in my backpack. If it’s possible, I often use sunbath cream before my walk, to prevent my skin from being burnt by the sun.
In general, both high and low temperatures can rapidly interrupt your photo walk, if you are not prepared well. Thus, it is not the weather that can prevent us from our passion, but sloth and stupidity.
What are the other external factors which can complicate our walking? In general, in Poland, we have significant problems with smog. I think that I feel the effects of pollution quite often. Sometimes I have a strange cough, and I am in 100% sure that this cough is connected to air pollution. I can avoid the smog, by using the protective smog mask, but for today, I still did not buy it. How can I explain this? Stupidity is the answer.
The next unpleasant issue, which came to my mind and which could make our wandering is inconvenient, is the dust (e.g., floating from the nearby construction sites) which (the same as smog) can damage our lungs. Also, the noise (for example, from the streets full of cars) can bring unpleasant feelings to us. That is why I try to avoid crowded streets.
To summarize, I encourage you, my Dear Friend, to analyze what I wrote once again. Then, ask yourself: do these external factors are actual obstacles which can prevent us from doing our passion? Of course not. It is only our laziness and stupidity prevent us from our hobby.
