“The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.”

My second favorite hiking photo of the year! This was a sunset after exiting the woods in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation (late October). The contrast between the sky and the trees is what makes the photo special for me.
It was truly an odd feeling to be on the trail today and after almost always being a party to the woods waking up, I was instead for once looking at the coming night. Being pretty deep in the woods and surrounded by many hills, the darkness enveloped me much quicker than the morning light does as the sun rises. As I exited the woods in almost total darkness, I was able to catch the last of the sunset off in the distance.

More of the same sunset.
Happy Hiking!!!

Two of my favorite things: A beautiful sunset and naked trees!
Hike to feel the wonder
Hike to hear the crushing of leaves under your feet
Hike to feel the curve of the trail and the soft dirt kicked up from your boots
Hike to feel the cool morning breeze rushing over you
Hike to see the sunrise
Hike to witness a sunset
Hike for the views
Hike because you can
Simmering sun falls.
Orange delight gives way to
Blessed peace and calm-
A picturesque landscape of
Cool juicy watermelon
Cotton candy dreams,
Streaking across the day’s end
Mystical madness.

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”
