The Widowmaker
Getting to this spot is an adventure. Looking out at that peak is breathtaking. Not just because of the beauty, but because of the strong winds that often blow through the area.
You probably can't tell, but there is a path that leads up to that peak. There are two other peaks behind me that are also steep and narrow. It's a dangerous path and many good people have lost their footing on these trails.
When I was younger I used to take a lot of risks that I would never take today. Two days after I took this shot a firefighter on the island slipped and fell from very near where I took this and perished.
I've had to come to accept that sometimes God's beauty is meant to be appreciated from a distance. This image helps remind me of that.
