I Visited an Ancient Friend, Cycling in Fog Once Again

A few days ago, the girls and I decided to spend one of these last days of the year 1399 (Hijri solar calendar) by the beautiful beach and light a campfire. That's why we all gathered somewhere in the morning when we suddenly realized that one of my friend's bicycle tires is low (on air).

At first, we tried to inflate the bike with a pump, but we quickly realized that the problem was beyond that and we need to repair the punctured tire.

I knew we couldn’t find any repairmen so early in the morning. But I was friends with a good-hearted young repairman and I knew he would help us if I asked him, as he lived nearby.

Anyway, I called my young friend and woke him up too! He asked me to bring the bike to his shop and he finished our work in 15-20 minutes, but that was enough time for our program to be greatly delayed.

Finally, when we set off, we noticed a heavy fog on the road and I knew that my friends could not ride the long hazardous beach route in this fog, so we decided to visit an old friend instead.

When I say old, I mean really old! As it has lived on this planet for many years. Maybe even centuries.

As much as I begged my friends not to start a campfire near my ancient friend, they did not listen to me.

I was worried that it would be harmed. However, I was careful and I completely extinguished the fire afterward.

The whole day was good after all. Along with kind friends and having breakfast next to a magnificent, wise Acer, a giant friend who always gives me indescribable comfort.

When I go riding on my bike, the world around me becomes exciting and so elegant all at once, so despite the shortcomings, disasters and horrors… I embrace it. I know it is not just me having these feelings, but I’m definitely another nature lover looking for unanswered questions in an extraordinary manner as well. I cherish the pictures caught by my camera and the ones remained forever in my essence.
