Climbing Parnassus

---

When I talked about the heroes of Olympus Parnassus, I promised to show the ascent of this man-made mountain. The time has come, now I will take you there. But the first thing I saw when I parked the car was ... mushrooms. The real autumn mushrooms

Когда я рассказывал о героях Олимпа Парнаса, я обещал показать восхождение на эту рукотворную гору. Время пришло, сейчас я вас туда отведу. Но первое, что я увидел припарковав машину были...грибы. Самые настоящие осенние грибы

Of course, I remembered both Friday and the mushroom boss @ewkaw. But most importantly, besides Mr. Helios, I had macro rings with me. My wife had already moved far from the car and could not understand that I was fidgeting there for so long.

---

Mushrooms grew on the trunk of an old tree. They were at the level of my height. I didn’t have to crawl on my knees and lie on my stomach. I was almost happy.

---

Nearby were some suspicious guys. They were interesting in their own way, but not like mushrooms.

A good start to climbing Parnassus. No, this is not Parnassus, it’s just a bump with autumn leaves. There are many such bumps, hills and hollows on the road. I missed a walk on Wednesday with a reputable walkmaster @tattoodjay and master smile @elizacheng. Therefore, I dedicate the climb itself to #wednesdaywalk & #makemesmile. Mushrooms, walk, autumn, Parnassus ... I like this combination. Walk with a smile for mushrooms. Something like this.

Our route ran through an undisturbed forest. The path then climbed up (rather steeply), then turned and went down. Leaf fall has already ended. All the leaves were carpeted at our feet. Given the rain and dirt road ... in general it was dirty and slippery. Shoes had to be washed for a long time. But we saw the autumn beauty of a wild park

These steps do not lead to Parnassus. They descend into a low hollow. Apparently, before there was something down there. But our path lay a different path.

---

Bear with a little, we have almost come. I understand that is difficult. And who is easy now? But admire this autumn beauty. This is the last leg of the trail. The peak of Parnassus is already visible. We went behind. From here she does not seem tall. Let's rise and look down.

---

Being here, I understand why Count Shuvalov ordered to pour this mountain. Before his eyes was a different look. I think he was even more beautiful. And along this path we will go down. But another time. I'm afraid that you are so tired
