If you find yourself on Promontory Drive, you may notice this lone little tree standing in a vacant lot. It’s been visible in a number of my sunset photos in the past year or two, and it’s grown quite a bit since I first saw it. Now there’s a chair under it. It’s a ratty chair, but it is well placed nonetheless.

When the spring sunset arrives, this chair is a prime place for viewing. Somebody had their thinker cranked up to MAX when they put the chair here. They apparently consume a lot of energy drinks too, judging by the cans I saw next to the chair.

This isn’t the first time someone’s deposited a piece of furniture in this area. Before the roads came this far out, there was a dusty old double-track trail leading to the edge of the hill overlooking River Road. At the end of that road was just enough clear space to turn around, and occasionally a sofa or chair of some sort. Things are a little more accessible now that there are paved roads, but this is just a continuation of times past. Obviously I’m not the only one gazing at the sky around here!
