i notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature. // friedrich nietzsche
Would qualify as Alpen-glo had it been a bit colder when I took this early morning shot back in August. Failing that and some snow on the mountain, it's just the backside of a sunrise.

Some weird reef deep water fowl.Good photo. But why are there two odd shaped plucked chickens at the top
Like! It also looks like a perfect place to do a little metal detecting

For those who might not realize that Mt. Rainier in my previous post is a dormant volcano.
I would ride my bicycle on the Foothills Trail out towards Mt. Rainier, this sign was at the trailhead which makes people a little uneasy.

I really love this shot! Seriously, I stopped and was like "WOW".
Very good! I wonder how long it took the salt air to relic the locks?

Large and small.
Florida Snapper turtle on the left and a common Painted turtle on the right. The small turtle is about 18 inches long.

A little different POTD subject today - When riding a bike, always wear a helmet as it is not a matter of if, but when. This selfie was taken at about the turnaround point for a 30 mile ride for my "no haircut since February"...but there was a "Florida hill", a/k/a pedestrian overpass, a mile away so continued on. After hitting 29mph on the downside, couldn't slow down enough for the 90 degree turn in the trail. Wheels lost traction in the turn and slid. Obvious road rash contusions on my left side and puncture wound middle of right calf (probably the brake lever), destroyed Rx sunglasses, witnessed by a nursing student, his wife and baby who were walking the trail in the opposite direction and gave me some alcohol wipes and a mask where could go into McDonalds and wash with soap and water. Actually rode my bike home but 6 mile shortcut on roads and sidewalks which in retrospect can't believe I did with a fractured clavicle. Began experiencing problems in the final 2 miles noting grapefruit size hematomas developing on my left thigh plus orange size at the right puncture wound and couldn't keep left arm on handlebar for long, needing to stretch and exercise it. 6 hours later in the ER after Xrays and CAT scans, confirmed internal injuries to head or chest and no broken arms or legs...but did confirm a broken collarbone. Other than stiff and limited range of movement, doing well this AM. They exen gave me a Rx for a narcotic which I am going to skip.
Initially thought the helmet wasn't impacted in the accident. Looking at it this AM, notable impact on the left (sliding) side. It did its job, protecting my head, face and scalp.

Not a fun ride but glad to hear you are not badly injured. Could have been a lot worse as you are well aware. Follow medical orders in the healing process.
