sunset at Black Rock

This is the time of year that we have fabulous sunsets. On the way to visit my friend Mark in Bethlehem I experienced this view driving past Black Rock State Park. There, every August my parents would take me to my mother's shop picnic. We'd eat boiled corn, steak and potato salad. I'd get my cheeks pinched by my mother's friends until I had enough. Then I'd run up and down the hillside to and from Black Rock, a large promontory that overlooked the stream, the pond and all the people enjoying the hot dusty day.
