What an inspiring sight to behold!  I think that the clouds settled down in the valley so that the setting sun could put on a show just for those of us crazy enough to be in the highest elevations in the ice and snow on this evening.  The colors dancing across the clouds was indescribable!  It was a difficult climb to get up to this spot in the ice for sunset but it certainly was freeing and refreshing to be able to do it.  Storms are blew into the Smokies last night and will be with us today.  Tomorrow they will clear out and leave us with clean, fresh air and plenty beautiful views.
    A grand view like this makes it clear to me how equal we all are.  to see something awesome like this reminds me that no matter where we come from or where we have been.  No matter what we have or don't have, in the grand scheme of things we are all the same.
