Spruce Mountain Fire Tower

3am alarm. Hiking by 4:30am. Startled a moose midway up the trail. Arrived at the end of blue hour, climbed the tower in the wind and was not disappointed. I was a bit unnerved swaying in howling wind, and while I took many many images I lost my composure and did not image as well as I intended.

A blue hour view from the cabin.
White Mountains and Mt. Washington on fire as the sun breaks the horizon.
The sky did not disappoint.
Mt. Washington and the Whites.
Looking east, Camel’s Hump, Worcester Range, far away is Mt. Mansfield, and the Winooski River Valley in the fog.
