Coming..and then going
Posted on | August 14, 2007 | 2 Comments
You should see the sky as it truly is. In a place where the shadows of the trees truly are darker than the heavens. Do you really understand how bright the night sky should be? How the stars spread like sand across the darkness and how they swim in milky swaths of light… you should see it. But you can’t. We wash it out with our lights and the pressing civilization. But I enjoyed it while I could. The sky can’t be described, nor photographed by my little camera, just know that I got neck cramps from staring skyward, I want to go back just to look at the stars.
We loved Crater Lake, and I will write about it more, but I have to get back to packing. I’m heading out again, for another trip, to Colorado with my sister. She’s been planning to go down to see her friends and family, but can’t really drive down from Tacoma herself, so her friend was going to come with her. At the last minute, the friend flaked, and Alexis was left holding the bag. So, after D and I talked about it, we decided that I would drive down there with her. We leave on Tuesday… so it’s a quick turnaround. I will be back home in about 10 days…

Great pics. I remember being a kid and going to a place in W. New York, way out in the country. I got to see the sky unencumbered by all of our lights of civilization. It’s a truly wonderful experience.
