Personally I enjoyed Alexandra Horowitz's book On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes. She lives in New York City and goes on walks with her toddler son, her dog, a physical therapist, a wildlife biologist, a sign-maker, a geologist, a person with blindness, a sound engineer, and an etymologist. Every time she walks the same block but has a different journey. The things she has learned from the previous walks influences what she observes on the subsequent walks. She is a curious person. I especially enjoyed the observations of the physical therapist, the geologist, and the sound engineer.
