Wie ein Naturlaut (Like a sound of nature) assignment 2

The salty air fills my nostrils as I get out of my car and into this familiar place. I remember times of love, fun, and great times. I sit on a bench and look out onto the water. I hear what Mahler called in his first symphony “Wie ein naturlaut” (Like a sound of nature). The birds chirp, and coo as the children play on the jungle gym. I see fishermen on the pier casting their lines hoping for a great catch. Then I look to where I remember being for a good part of my life. The water it has been around me my whole life. I look onto it and see the sunlight glimmering off the water almost blinding me. I see and hear the sound of motor boats flying by. I look closer and see a fin, then behind it two more. I ponder to myself, where are they going? I watch the fins cut through the water endlessly.  This site reminds me of the times of being on a boat and seeing them swim right next to us. Some days you would get luck and see them jump out of the water as you are flying by. As I see this I can’t help but think of the Mahler 1^st symphony. I keep humming the first movement to myself. I look up towards the sky and I see that the cumulus clouds seem ready to burst. So I must start heading home, away from nature, and away from such fond memories.
