| The wonderful fire tower
For much of the day it had been rainy and windy. While driving over the bridge I noticed the sky clearing, with swift-moving, low-lying clouds. What a sight! I figured it'd be a good time to head to the fire tower in Ferncliff Forest.
Every once in a while I encounter a douche while hiking. As I'm walking up the trail, I spot a guy just standing in the middle of the trail, talking on his cell phone. Then his dog comes charging at me. He does not even acknowledge this.
Once at the tower, I had it to myself. I spent almost an hour up there, despite the wind. I tried waiting out the rainbow, but it never did fully develop. Mostly, I enjoyed the cool looking cloud cover. The clouds hummed right on by as if they blew out of a smokestack. Some of the clouds appeared fire-like. Damn, I love having this place so close by!

I know what you mean. What an asshole! I was up there alone a few weeks ago and I ran into a group of rowdy teenagers which ruined the solitude and the walk. Too much talking and loud music. Despite this, it is a great place to have so close.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos. Such incredible clouds. I love stuff like that, when the sky becomes its own magical universe. I abhor douches in the woods. I have no patience for them. More than anything else, it's the irresponsible dog owners that piss me off. Clueless fucking idiots that shouldn't be dog owners.
