Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God. Goethe
Top photo and above: Sunrise above inversion.
Hiking down the Boulevard near Myrtle.
Morning,
We had a sunny day up top yesterday. There was some great inversion all day long. I got too many photos so I'll be posting sunrise pictures today and sunset tomorrow. The high was 29. The low was 15. It was 19 and clear at observation.
Yesterday morning after the sun rose at Apollo Overlook, I took a quick little jaunt down the Boulevard trail. The days with inversion always feel like the mountain is my own secret. Everyone in the valley inquires how cloudy it is up top. I have to force back my smile when I tell them how majestic it actually is. As I hiked along, I gradually lost elevation and descended into the mystic I'd just photographed from above. I was in an omnipresent haze that both my and the sun's progress seemed bound to preserve. Eventually, I let the sun win out and climbed back up to enjoy my sanctuary above the clouds. This great seat is worth leaving only so long as to quench my daily wanderlust and no more.
PS: People have been asking me what they could bring up if they drop by... I've been going through my books pretty quickly and here are a few that are still on my reading list. I'd really appreciate it!
Wallace Stegner-Big Rock Candy Mountain
Johann Wolfgang van Goethe-Faust
Seneca-Letters from a Stoic
Plutarch-Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans
Anything by Hermann Hesse or Barbara Kingsolver.
