… the San Francisco Peaks … one of my favorite places to hangout on the plateau. I spent a lot of time ridge soaring between Humphreys Peak to Agassiz Peak and back … sometimes slipping over the edge down into the inner basin and get great shots of the fall colors inside it.
The photo above was taken close to sunset on a January morning … the canyon running left to right in the lower portion of the photo is West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon. The mountain on the far right is Mt. Elden … a scene to dream on.
Below is a snow and cloud filled scene taken on the west side of the peaks … the sunny side on the right shows the ridge line running from Humphreys Peak to Agassiz Peak … going to the left from Agassiz Peak you have in order Doyle Peaks, Fremont Peak and Schultz Peak. The inner Basin is filled with clouds and not a good place to be in conditions like this.
Have a beautiful day and take in the beauty of this wonderful place … or where ever you find yourself … keep breathing, smile and smile! You are here!
Cheers,
Ted
Good night, thou sweet, old world, good night;
Enfold me in the gentle light
Of other days, when gleams
Of dewy meadows held my dreams;
And quiet walks, as day sank low,
Dispelled each touch of woe.
Let me forget these joys be gone,
But feel them coming on
From out the past, with laughter’s cries
And dream-enamored skies
Of old. One hand let me hold tight.
Good night, thou sweet, old world, good night.
Good Night, by Max Ehrmann
