We had a very pleasant hour-long hike through some undisturbed forest yesterday morning, ultimately coming to a spot with a nearly 180 degree view of a local lake. It is a piece of protected land, so there were no man-made vistas to be had. The view of the lake was veiled by the dense woodland growth. On the other hand, the lake itself is man made, so that complicates matters a little bit, I suppose. Well, anyway...
