Walks in the nature are good for children

This is only slightly related to photography, but here goes. A new study shows that a walk in the park improves attention in children with ADHD: 'For children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tasks that require concentration such as doing homework or taking a test can be very difficult. A simple, inexpensive remedy may be a "dose of nature." [...] after the walk in the park children generally concentrated better than they did after a walk in the downtown area or the neighborhood area. The greenest space was best at improving attention after exposure.'

During the last summer we went with the children to the nearby nature parks and wilderness areas several times each week, and it was good for everyone. (Not only me and my photography.) I have always felt that out there in the nature (and after been there) it is easier to think, but now for the first time we have a controlled comparison where there seems to be proof about this claim.

The photo here was taken on Wednesday on a nature walk just before sunset.
