I traveled to France for the castles, and Château de Chenonceau became my favorite for its elegant, thoughtfully designed gardens. While hiking up a path, I spotted a woman sitting quietly, gazing at the view for over a minute. She was lost in it. I found myself appreciating the beauty of that moment: the framing, the stillness, the story. It felt more than natural. It felt meant to be seen.
