While going on my first two treks the two moments that made me feel completely at peace and calm were...
On my first trek when I was making a recording of a playground found at the zoo I really enjoyed just standing there for five minutes with my headphones on completely calm listening to the many layers of sound entering my ears. There were children laughing and yelling, squeaking from a see-saw, random conversations from "zoo-goers" behind me, as well as birds chirping in a nearby tree. It was really interesting to hear all of these aspects blend into one.
Secondly, while on my second trek the whole experience was peaceful because I chose to go to the zoo on a Monday this time. It was a day where the weather was on and off dry and wet, sunny with constant wind blowing. When I got there I realized I was only one of probably twenty people at the zoo. I've never been to the zoo when it was that empty and it was a very interesting and peaceful experience having the entire place to myself it seemed. The animals seemed more calm and friendly as well as I walked around since they didn't have hundreds of people constantly gawking at them. There was even one moment where I stood in front of the orangutan window and we stared at each other for a few minutes until I walked away and even then I noticed his eyes continued to follow me.
