This morning Nora and I climbed up Pyramid Mountain with the doggies in the sunshine. We started out freezing cold at the parking lot, but warmed up as we climbed the mountain. Nora remarked that she prefers hiking up when it is cold because she doesn't get so hot like she did on sunny days last spring.
Late October sunshine has a distinctive quality. A saturated golden quality with lots of contrast. The sun is low on the horizon and the light rakes across the landscape at a low angle creating shadows. It is a photo friendly light because everything just pops. I did not have to do any adjustments to any of these photos in iphoto (except for the one with the frozen stream icicles).
Up on top the sunshine was warm and the sky blue. A beautiful day to go for a walk. Patrick
Gorgeous photos
