I think we all have a beautiful photo in our computer. I have a wonderful

photograph that made me happy a lot of times. But sometimes I think that I am the
only person who likes this place. This place is meaningful to me because it is part
of the Yachay University, is part of the country where I grew up and is part of my

live. This place is in Ecuador in an old place named Hacienda San Jose, a small
piece of the province of Imbabura, in a town named Urcuqu.
The Hacienda San Jose is a new town because of the Yachay University.
People live in apartment or condominium buildings because of its little space
available. I study up in one of the many buildings in Yachay University, admiring
from my bedroom window the beauty of the mountains, always exploring with my
eyes the forest or the meadows, looking for a quiet place. And, I found one on a hill
in the back of the town. It is about 200 feet square, it has many old trees, wild
flowers and a lot of bugs and flies.
I used to go there to sit down on a rock and watch the town and trees. Some
trees were smaller, ten in the back, seven on my left side and the new buildings on
my right. There were flowers, many kinds, white, yellow, purple and blue. It was
nobody's place. Nobody owned that hill, but it was beautiful and peaceful and I
dreamed many times I study over there.
I think that, these kinds of places are meaningful to people because they are
natural and people can be there alone, away from their everyday life. I used to go
there to be alone or to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the
clouds. I liked to go there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind. It was easy
to go up the hill. I wanted to see every day the trees, to see how the color of the
leaves changed and to feel the softness of the grass.

This place is part of my adolescence. It means a lot to me because it is

beautiful and natural, is a clean and quiet place in a world of noise and dirty air.
This place is maybe beautiful just in my mind.
