Winchell Lake (Sept.) in the morning hours.
Very fun morning to just sit on a rock and watch the fog roll in and out.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.
