Nolan Trail
A slab of concrete edged by a worn iron fence, overlooking
onto the river. The water is brown and
not very nice looking but so full of life.
There were hundreds maybe even thousands of small fish. The fish weren’t
beautiful or colorful but the fact that there was such life in such an urban
place surprised me. When I stepped up
onto the concrete overlooking the water the last thing I expected to see was
fish. They were all swimming into some
kind of urban tunnel. Why would the fish be fighting to swim into the tunnel
when they had the whole river to swim into? The whole time that I was watching
them swim they never got closer to their goal of making it into the tunnel,
however, they kept going, never stopping.
This experience stood out to me out of all the life we had seen on the
Nolan trail because it was so relatable to our society. The fish had a whole river to swim in but
they were fighting to become a part of the urban environment. We also do this. We have so much land to explore but we only
want to settle down in the urban environments.
