Mount Woodson peak in the clear; the valleys covered in cloud...like a fairy land.
We're on vacation after a high-exertion Hike-about 23. We continue to exercise and undertake a hike or two but
the tempo is far more relaxed. No doubt that once we get back into equilibrium, it will be time to increase the
pace which will bring us to Hike-about 24. Where we capture scenes that we consider meaningful or worthy, we'll
continue to post them to the blog. Our early morning visit to Mount Woodson, a place we hike frequently, provided
scenes we found unique, hence this blog.
A week before, we undertook the same hike on a day in which the sky was cloudless. Although the exercise was
invigorating, the high temperature, even in the very early morning as well as an absence of mist and fog together
with dry flora, made the visuals quite dull. Scroll forward a week and we believe we saw some of the finest sights
in San Diego County. It gets back to something we have said ad nauseum: Each day, each moment, differs.
Taking the gap.
Soon after sunrise, we catch some stray rays. We've heard "Walking into the sunset" but sunrise?
The Mountain's shadow on clouds; rocks reflect.
Facing east in the morning means color on the horizon.
At an early hour, we have the 'Potato Chip' to ourselves.
Something new at the peak; a chance to show some old-fashioned respect.
Mountains and trees swamped by clouding.
Finding a way down through the gap.
Mountains, clouds, sunrise and sunbathing boulders.
At about 6.20am on Mount Woodson Peak.
The 'Thin Blue Line' on the western side.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
And one more...:
Boring through the boulders.
