Travel Theme: Horizons

This week at Where's My Backpack?, Ailsa asks us to look to the horizon for her travel theme. So, OK. Off into the distance!George and I recently went to visit his daughter in Baltimore. The first night we were there we went out, you know. Dinner, cocktails, that sort of thing. The next day we walked around the city and then went to a baseball game, which was great fun but made for a long day. That night, we decided the right thing to do was have pizza and wine on the rooftop deck, and admire the skyline as the sun set. Here is Baltimore's iconic Domino Sugars sign, seen over the rooftops of Locust Point.This picture was taken closer to home for me. It was so close, in fact, I was home. We had some fantastic fog roll in from Buffalo Creek (Crick, if you're local) one night, and this was how my back yard looked. I love that you have no idea where the tree line ends and the sky begins. Oh yeah. There's a whole line of trees in that fog.This past December, we were in Myrtle Beach for our niece's college graduation. When we were on our way out to dinner, a crazy-strong storm blew in--we were completely waterlogged crossing the street from the parking lot to the restaurant's lobby--and we were a little early for the dinner rush, so I could run around the restaurant at will. The restaurant was right on the beach, and I ran around from room to room (big restaurant) looking out all the windows at the soaked world outside. This is what I got.Sometimes...oh, this kills me...sometimes, cliches and stereotypes have some basis in fact. And New Jersey's snark-riddled reputation as a land of refineries and factories and traffic...well, there's this section along the Turnpike that George and I joke about, that we know we're home when we see it. (Jersey peeps,'fess up, you do it too.) But. Sigh.However! New Jersey also gives it up for moments like these. Sunset, Normandy Beach, NJ.What's on your horizon?
