Alpenglow on the road

We took the “Looking for Alpenglow” show on the road last evening. The start was visible on the mountain tops that we see through the trees but neighbors are in residence making the usual loop off limits.

Temperatures stayed very cold and skies very clear all day. As the sun set behind Blacktail Mountain, west of the valley, the glow started low.

The telltale pink hit some low clouds.

Some of the pink hit the mountain tops.

And the light lit the road home.

Night light: “For the weary”

The steeper the ridgeline
The hotter the sunshine
The sweeter the alpenglow*

It’s a long way over this mountain
A long long way to climb

There’s a song that I must keep singing
It’s a prayer and it moves me through time

The things that will hurt you
The ones that desert you
They’ll help you more than you’ll ever know*

The steeper the ridgeline
The hotter the sunshine
The sweeter the alpenglow

The more the resistance
The greater the distance
The sweeter the alpenglow*

*Lyrics from “For the weary” written by Allison Sattinger, Sunny Rising Music Allison’s Steady Heart CD
