Sharing horizons... the calm after the storm. Mother Natured hammered La Veta with a thunderstorm and hail just before this was taken. My side of the mountain only had a short heavy rain and pea sized hail. My horizons are always hills - nothing flat. The sun comes up about an hour and twenty minutes after the time stated and it sets about an hour before the time stated. These burned sentinals create a totally different dynamic than they did as living trees fleshed out in their evergreen dresses. Still, thre is a certain type of beauty that can be found after Mother Nature does her thing. The jounery through it is grueling. Still - I maintain, "hope is on the horizon". So. I'm sharing my horizon.

I used the iPhone Portrait Mode which gives a shallow depth. I didn't want to background to compete with the cairn. Edited in Prisma app with "Wild". I have a love affair with cairns and love stacking the stones on my property. I have them around my house, but also out and about. There is something meditative about them.
