We live close enough to Walmart that almost everybody in the neighborhood just walks.

Taken from Walmart looking towards the neighborhood.

Existing sidewalk continues where I am standing. New sidewalk starts curving away (red). Yes, I took the desire path!

At Knightshayes, Tiverton. You go down into the formal garden, walk to the end of the path, find it’s a dead end, and nip up the slope to continue round

Maybe not technically a desire path.. but looked cool nonetheless!

ACT, Australia.

This is the desire path (both directions) connecting the parking lot and entrance. Well worn!

Seen in Austria

But it comes with a nifty hand rail.

Found a nice little desire path that ants have made on my playground at my school where I teach.

Hey guys, first this pic was took in Ponta das Campanhas, Armação Beach, Florianópolis, SC, Brasil.

Second, about the title : I'm a 24F and I study geography at UFSC (Florianópolis city) and I'll graduate next year. To my final project I'll talk Desire Paths! Basically about urban planning, about how people have to do these trails for many reasons: cities are made for cars not walking people/ sidewalk are not the easiest or the fastest ways.

I want to talk about pathography,; I NEED to talk about why is a "Desire" (here I think about Lefreve when he talks about desire on the production of space); I can talk a bit about the geomorphological processes that increase when this grass is removed by walking.

Anywayssss I'm at the point where I'm looking for bibliographic references, it can be in any language and about anywhere, everything will help and I think here might be a good try

Thank you already everyone. :))

Just once, just a shortcut, just have it a bit easier for one moment, except, plot twist... there's no way out on the other side. And now you're caught by what you thought was a walk in the park. Who'da seen that coming?! Well, everyone who can look more than two steps ahead on the way, that's who.
