North Lookout, Hawk Mountain

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 24 August 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is the view from the North Lookout at Hawk Mountain along the Skyline Trail. It's hard to believe that we began our hike from this elevation, descended to the valley floor below and then climbed back up to this point. A total distance of about six miles, by my estimate. From this elevation, turkey vultures would soar past only a few yards from where we were sitting.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
