Winter Sun
 
Another weekend on the west side of the Olympics. Ryan and I took an eight mile stroll up a nasty overgrown logging road covered with 2-3 feet of snow on Sunday. The sun was setting with almost three miles left to go. I happened to glance back at the right time to catch the moon rising over a ridge bathed in red light from the sunset. We walked two hours in the dark with our head-lamps.
