The shadows stretched across the undulating hills bringing a growing sense of mystery to the landscape. Suddenly, a deer bounded across the green field. It paused, looked at me momentarily, then jumped with its back legs high in the air. With joyous abandon, it bounded to and fro and then disappeared into the embrace of the shadows. I stood between the columns and felt the cool evening breeze on my face. Looking across the ever-climbing hills, I watched the last light of the day creep slowly up the distant peak as thin clouds lazily danced and twisted across their rocky face. I felt a great peace...all was perfect in this beautiful place.
