Ravine forest at sunset

For now, the ravine forest below the house is intact (and hopefully will be for the foreseeable future). 

The "other side" will be developed, most certainly - how soon, and in what guise, remains to be seen.  It's been vacant land for a long time.

But the view now is wonderful, and in the early spring light at sunset, extraordinary.  We're fortunate.

Although these are similar views, we essentially have a panorama of forest beyond our deck and kitchen windows.
