But as the sun went down behind a mountain, he suddenly clambered impulsively onto a rock, seized with the feverish notion that from its top he would be able to watch a little longer.

      Thank you! I took this photo on an early solo trip and felt so fortunate that it actually showed that remarkable sky. 🙂 Usually, my “work” is out of focus–that’s why I write instead of photog. 😀
