Best of the fall photos '18

The fall was beautiful in Sewanee as usual.  One particular morning of Nov. 3 I took this photo and uploaded the time lapse video of the sunrise.  It was an amazing view of the 'alpenglow' of the morning sun on the ridge.  It was this morning that I made my last boat trip of the season on the TN River.  Second photo - click on it to see the whole view.

The following weekend, I had a great fall party, but it was much cooler.  About 30 friends showed up from Sewanee and Murfreesboro.  The deck wood stove cranked out enough heat in the 35º weather that many friends were hanging outside on the deck.  It was a fun time.

The sound of roaring creeks

2.93 inches of rain Dec. 22-24 recorded at the Sky Castle weather station, this Christmas eve.  

The sound of the roaring creeks here is tremendous.   It's like living by the sea, except it is doesn't ebb and flow, it's constant.   It's particularly awesome at night, even a little scary.  The weather change abruptly today with the cold front.   It was 55º last night, and I had a window open to hear the sound of rushing water to sleep to.    Now, it's 41º with rain and fog.  Was planning on going to the track to train, but I think I'll take 2 days off and enjoy my last few hours of the year here in Sewanee before I travel.

Unlike a lot of my nature and weather videos, this has sound.   Have a listen to the awesomeness of nature - there is no greater church.

I'm off to FL. Merry Xmas, 2014.
