ADK Moment

Finally exiting the highway I get onto the two lane that is returning me to the Adirondacks. It has been a couple of months and I am again reminded of the painful beauty of this place. The sun is reduced to a glowing orange orb bouncing along a ridgeline to my left, west.  An all too perfect line of naked trees form a picket fence along the ridge line. Nature has formed a zoetrope animating the glowing orb's  movement behind the fence slats. My truck's passage north provides the movement.  Most would call this an optical illusion. For me this is as real as it gets.
