The Sun Highlighted Our Woodlot
The other evening (4:45 pm) as we traveled home it looked like the sun was focused on our woodlot while the mountains behind us and most of the area around us were in the shade. I don’t remember seeing that before in my life and thought it was really interesting and like a stage light […]
