My Favorite Places
Charlie Frias Park, Las Vegas, Nevada (Image Information: photo of Charlie Frias Park by Kennejima found on Flickr ) Charlie Frias Park was my local running spot and my go-to place when seeking solitude and moving-meditation. With a 1200-meter paved track, open green fields, views of the great American Southwest desert mountains, and spectacular post-run sunsets, it’s no secret what kept drawing me back to this park.

And, at times, I’d conclude my run, take a deep breath of fresh air, and admire breathtaking sunsets like this—where no filter was needed, ever. (Image Information: personal photo from Jan 1, 2020)
