Emerson: “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Fire in the Forest

On our way home, we decided to stop in Morgantown West Virginia for the night. We spent the afternoon hiking here. We noticed this spontaneous brush fire and at the time, no rangers had yet arrived to extinguish it. I walked closer to take a few pictures but soon realized that it was more useful to grab a stick and start beating leaves.
