Reddish Knob, Evan Moog

I got the opportunity to visit a mountain top near JMU when I visited my girlfriend recently. Reddish knob was on the border of Virginia and West Virginia. My girlfriend and I drove up to the summit early in the morning so that we could be a part of the sunrise. It was an amazing experience being so high during the sunrise and the clouds were also at a perfect level of cloudiness so that they could capture the color that the sun was emitting but also it did not block the blinding force of the sun that slowly climbed into the sky that morning. That was the first time I have ever seen the sunrise from the top of a mountain and it really showed me the beauty of the world around me. The height of the summit along with the grandeur of the event gave way to the thinness of the spectacle as well. I felt closer to the God that made such an amazing picture that was now laid out across the landscape in front of me. The colors were spread across the mountains as well as the clouds that connected with the mountains at the horizon in the opposite direction that the sun was rising. I am so glad that I got to share this wonderful experience with my girlfriend, and it gave me a better perspective of the beauty of the nature that is all around me.
