We skipped all of that and headed up to the local man-made lake to hike the trails that meander through the foothills. It was a gorgeous day and we spent 3 hours out there. Can you spot our shadows in the first photo?

I took this time-lapse 360 when we were at the top of the vista. From Summer to Winter, the foothills are blanketed with dry, tall grass and oak trees. The river runs through this area and ends at the Dam with the lake. ** video has music

I too avoid Black Friday, and not just due being in a wheelchair with the (possibly) violent crowds. It's just that after a nice peaceful family Thanksgiving, staying home is just more relaxing...Your views are stunning, the hillside a respite from the maddening shoppers. I saw you twice: in the picture and as you flailed your arms in the video. A nice view of the land - and post!
Veyr wise to avaoid all those crowds. I never go to sales-can't be bothered with those crowds. So much better to be out in the hilss taking lovely photos for us all to enjoy!
what a beautiful place to hike.....
Love the hint of hikers in the corner. I had a black friday pottery sale at my house, complete with shadows.
Beautiful shadows!
Shadow at my page, please come and see.
From that vista point, you can see miles and miles!
SHADOWY DELIGHT
Shadows above me, shadows below,
Shadows beside me, wherever I go;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night—
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!
