Going Down Under
It's hard to watch a sunset and remember it's the Earth that is spinning. From all outward appearances, it is the sun that is falling from the sky. We sit and watch the sun drop below the horizon and figure that someone in Australia is watching the sun come up. Later, their sunset turns into our sunrise.

Most of Rattlesnake Lake is covered with ice this cold morning. The first rays of sunlight are bathing the flanks of Rattlesnake Mountain below me.

My final full day in Albany, I decided to join my mate Buz for a spot of fishing down at Salmon Holes.
The salmon are due to start moving through the area soon, but though we might be able to snag one of the early runners.

Unfortunately we didn’t catch any salmon, but we did manage plenty of herring.

The sky was overcast with a couple of small gaps, so the potential was there for a nice start to the day. Lucky I decided to bring my camera down.
