The reason I say do NOT "retire" here is that the beauty is so strong, it's terrible. In the fearsome sense, I mean, because of the weight of the corresponding shadow. Things you never knew were there get pried open and dumped out here. Who knows, I might not be able to stand it forever and have to move to where I can spend my last years looking out on something milder with iced tea and cowflops. That said, you sound like you could fit in here some day. :-) And I'm taking your request quite seriously. Might even work the adventures into podcasts.

The peaceful rosy light dancing on the mountaintops tease the mind with mystical vibrations, erasing the day's thoughts of mundane trivia away. i enjoyed reading between the lines of this post, as well as browsing many of your photos - you are in the pursuit of those mystical vibrations drawing you away from the daily noise where you can momentarily escape into the sounds of silence, deep, where alpha rhythms oscillate within your mind at a frequency of 10 hertz and your primary visual cortex receives and processes sensory nerve impulses from your eyes .... The oh so peaceful rosy light dancing on the mountaintops Please share more of those peaceful adventures!

But be warned: this is NOT a place to "retire," but to blow that notion all to hell. On the other hand, the sun does shine a lot. You’re very welcome.
