It is Lake Tahoe. This particular year we visited there were fires in Yosemite and it was affecting the vibrancy of the sunrises. Quite amazing but also quite scary as Yosemite is a few hundred miles from Tahoe. This year there are fires much closer, hopefully the smoke won’t be causing any problems
I hope not. I’ve not been anywhere near to where you are going but I remember our last time in the Canadian rockies (2017) was affected by smoke – the views weren’t anything like as good as before. It is definitely scary how common fires are becoming.
And the reddish light is of course the best one. I’m going to exceed my promised seven posts at this rate – I think this is my fifth. But who can resist an uppity goat? https://margaret21.com/2024/09/11/a-goat-on-top-of-the-world/ You’re off very soon?
Off to Heathrow tomorrow – equal amount of anxiety and excitement at the moment. Have impressed myself with my packing though – less than 20kg for a month away
Learnt from experience that they only have coffee makers, and no matter how you use it the water still tastes of coffee. A disaster for a green tea drinker who hates the taste of coffee. So got a travel kettle years ago.
no worries – I am beginning to lose track of time and haven’t evno worries – I am beginning to lose track of time and haven’t even left on my holiday yet!en left on my holiday yet!

Well done! You’re a packer after my own heart. I did 10 kg for 3 weeks earlier this year.

ooh that’s even more impressive. I think I’d have been lighter if I hadn’t had to pack for every season plus take a kettle for the US hotels!!!
