Looking East as the sun comes up:
My junky camera does NOT do the sky justice it was breathtaking
Ran to the back of the house to see Sunrise Mountain lit up!
I never get tired of looking at it!
Found a nice video from a woman that lives near me - 'Hope you enjoy it!
Sunrise Mountain is a peak of the Kittatinny Mountains in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. The mountain is 1,650 feet (503 m) tall, and overlooks Beemerville to the east. It lies along the Appalachian Trail in Stokes State Forest.
The crest of Sunrise Mountain is one of the most frequently
visited sites in Stokes State Forest. The thin soil and harsh climate
characteristic of Sunrise Mountain is a difficult environment in which
few plants can survive. Mountain laurel, blueberry, pitch pine and bear oak are among the natural vegetation found throughout the area. The pavilion at the summit was built in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.[

( And yes, we did climb up to the pavilion when we first moved here!)

Stunning sunrises always give me a reason to pause and realize the majesty and beauty of it all. Then to realize how many millions and millions of years they have been happening.

DeleteDo you know the lady that did the video? It was nice. I noticed she said she had lived there her whole life. That is the best photo of Sunrise Mountain you have ever posted.
