high country morning—
through a cleft in the stone wall
the scent of campfires

    Nice effect, MMT. We see where you are and then the wide open “out there.”
    BTW, Our KP did have a combo, going away and early birthday party with her kid friends before she left.

    I love this kind of photo – looking through arches, arrow slits in castle walls, small windows. Thanks for this one.

    Fun – when I think of a cleft I too think of faces because I know a few gents with ‘holes’ in their chins. 🙂
    Lovely view.

    A beautiful haiku it triggers memories of camping festivals when I was younger … I was once a scout and we were camping on a regular base … at least three times a year. That sweet scent of campfires … delicieux!
