The Runner Up
Favorite Memory #2
This moment in time happened just a week ago. Cypress Hills. Ressor Lake Lookout. Dozens of people driving by who were barely getting out of their running cars to look at anything. Snapping a quick picture and then speeding off to continue on with life's chores. at first they annoyed me, but very quickly i pitied them, because if they would have looked over their shoulder for just one quick second they would have witnessed the most amazing sunset ever. it took my breath away. the way the sun was streaming through the clouds, turning the world as i knew it to a dark pink. making the valleys seem deeper, the hills higher. i almost couldn't believe that i was lucky enough to be witnessing such an event. i'm pretty sure i have permanent retina damage from staring for so long.....but it was worth every second.

Wow - both of those memories sound great. I appreciate nature so much more BECAUSE i live in a large city. The arts and culture are excellent here, but damn - there's nothing like time spent outdoors witnessing something like an amazing sunset or an astonishing moment of winter's silence. I envy you.
And by the way, you are "No. 2" at Google (search "cypress hills ressor lake lookout").
