New research shows that going for a walk improves your creativity. That's vindicating news for me, because it looks like all I do all day is take pretty pictures. In reality, these are from another 1-1/2 walk tonight—after a full day in the studio. This time it was to Passerelle d'Auzay—just a 45 minute walk from town to the ruins of an old water mill on the river Argenton.
