Nice shots and story. Took me back to when I used to spend a lot of time hunting in the hills and forests back in Missouri. No water to look out on (except when we went camping at the lake), but my favorite thing was to get up even earlier at 3-4am walk a couple miles into the woods, take a little nap and then listen to the sounds of the forest waking up around me, and looking out at the views from one of my spots on the hill.
Tks for the flashback.
Hey mate, thanks for commenting.
I have done the same, as you mention, not just on hunting trips but anytime I'm out and about in the wilderness...There's something nice about sitting still as the day comes to life and watching/feeling the shift from night to day. A nice moment.
