I grew up among several well-known mountain ranges (Adirondack, Catskill, Berkshire, Green), but I don't think I had ever seen red rocks before this trip.
Red rocks in Wyoming (I think). Digitized color print, August 1986.
The sun doesn't rise until 07h24 this morning. Compare that to 05h58 back on the summer solstice ( 21 June). And it's only going to get darker between now and the winter solstice (21 December). Joy.
Your childhood mountains were mine, too. My first trip west was eye-opening.
ReplyDeleteSame here, about the mountains. Later in life, when I saw the Rockies and the Alps, I was amazed. Certainly worth stopping for photo, if I had been driving.
