Admittedly, I'm 'out of order' this week...I blew yesterday, 'forgetting' it was Thursday...and here it is Friday with my new input towards a 'Fried Fridays' blog....so here I am deciding what to do...
I vote nature photography, hence "travelogue" entry. Could've easily done a Fried Fridays that would have contested Leona Helmsley's $1.4 million mausoleum burial site up against the NAACP President's comments, per Michael Vick and dogfighting, where he said "it was only a dog"...both are worthy "Fried Fridays" contenders.
Last week's travelogue blog was the moon setting over the Norbeck Overlook....what transpired was I arrived there, shot some moon shots (west), then walked 200 yards to shoot the sunrise from another rock outcropping (today's pics), and then went back to shoot some early sun shots from the Norbeck Overlook. Needless to say it was a wonderful and blessed morning, and I heard one single car in a 3-hour period, making it even better! Morning is my time of day, hands down...
"The morning light, which rains its quivering beams
Wide o'er the plains, the summits, and the streams,
In one broad blaze expands its golden glow
On all that answers to its glance below."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
"Early morning hath gold in its mouth."
- Benjamin Franklin
"I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more."
- Henry Ward Beecher
"Morn on the mountain, like a summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the vales
The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature, if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you, know that the morning and spring of your life are past."
- Henry David Thoreau

WOW! Awesome pics (all of them!), and fabulously perfect quotes to go along with them (or to stand alone on THEIR own too)!
Thanks for sharing all of these, Bob!
And yes, "silence" ..... there's something so perfect about silence ..... and to be by oneself, yet NOT be lonely ..... and to just listen to the silence ..... that's when the soul just comes ALIVE! :)
