reverence for the elders
Two "elders" of the Boulder Valley--an old, graceful Cottonwood tree and Haystack Mountain.
Viewed from other angles, Haystack mountain is dwarfed by the Rocky Mountain foothills that loom up behind it to the west. So it is not obvious and it can be a little difficult to spot. From this angle, however, it stands out nicely and is beautifully symmetrical. I was tempted to include "Haystack-san" in the title as a reference to beautiful Mount Fuji, often called "Fuji-san" by the Japanese.
In the 1850s, it was beneath Haystack Mountain that the Arapahoe Indians, led by Chief Niwot, set up their winter camp. Legend has it that Chief Niwot was buried at the top of Haystack, the mountain he so loved.
I came upon this beautiful blue hour scene quite unexpectedly, when I was teaching my nephew how to drive a manual transmission car on the extensive dirt roads north of Boulder.
