Ha! Yes! :) hello colleague :)
Hmmm. I'm not sure I like foggy and rainy weather on walks and mountain climbing. especially the big mountains, like morning mist is awesome but as soon as it becomes rainy and foggy the whole enjoying at the top is diminished (I really love looking in the distance from the top) :)
And when you get there and you can't see anything :'( you die a little inside or maybe just don't grow :)
CHeerS :)
For sure a good view from the top always gives you this this amazing rush of endorphines .. When I started hiking with my mom when I was still a child I actually disliked the trails a bit and always waited for that sasisfying moment in the end .. but as I grew up I found myself in a position where I enjoyed to watch nature during hikes in that rather "awful" weather situation .. I do not know why, but I like the feeling when you feel like a little helpless fish trying to find a way through an overwhelming colossus of old and everlasting nature .. maybe I am a masochistic traveler, hehe
But as you saw here I try to distinguish always between those two. One day I take the direct route to top for that amazing view and the other day I tackle the adventure ;)
Maybe you saw my hike in Yosemite, that was kind of masochistic too, but the rush of endorphines when I reached the top there for the view kind of even intensified it for me, hehe ^^ oh no, this way it sounds like I am a travel junkie ;)
That is a nice picture you posted, where did you take it ? .. just by the guess of colours I would say Oregon in the dtates, but guessing by colour sounds so inacurate, hehe ^^
Enjoy you sunday ! I hope its a sunny day ;)
