Just a quick note today.
A couple of days ago, as I am wont to do, I had walked too far into the back country in order to make it back before the sun bade me goodnight. No big deal, really. I do this all the time and as the seasons change, I am frequently caught out in the dark while strolling along the familiar trails.
I have passed a particular spot so many times I can't count them. Why I stopped this particular evening, I have no idea why. Then, I thought for a moment or two about how I had never looked over the edge and down into the creek bed. The colors were glowing red and a bit of yellow catching some faint light from somewhere.
Now, cameras can actually "see" in the dark far better than our eyes can, so, I thought, what the heck?! I set up the tripod as I knew this would be a long exposure, which let me get lost in the moments for a bit.
My carry-everywhere camera did it's job and found the image.
Packing up I made a mental note; Always remember to look over the edge, off the trail, up or down into the unfamiliar and see what new sights and mysteries might be found!

That is breathtaking.
And fully triggers my discomfort with heights.
