Fire on the Mountain?


Fortunately, the fire is rather distant-almost 93 million miles. But my first glimpse had me worried.


The sun is rising farther and farther to the south. It barely tops the ridge, but skulks along like an uneasy intruder.


A few more days and things will change as it begins its journey back to the northern end of our horizon. And none too soon, I say!

It’s hard to fathom that the sun will be returning but that the winter is just beginning. The next two months will not be a lot of fun here.

Oh how beautiful your view of dawn is! I have two familiar ridges, and one catches the light first, giving me that feeling of gladness that old sol returned again. I've got plans for January already!

Beautiful shots. I always look forward to solstice. These short days are depressing.

I see why you were concerned at first. It did look like fire on the mountainside.

Wow, yes, at first glance that does look incendiary. Beautiful though.
