The morning glow of the mountain patrol by the peak master sprinkles all over the earth——

The 113th patrol in 2023. The temperature this morning is minus five degrees. When I arrived at the north gate parking lot at six thirty, it was still very dark. Looking up, the Polaris at the top of the tall tree crown in the southeast direction was clearly discernible, but the traces of other stars were hard to find, indicating that the weather today is not clear, and the visibility is general. After entering the park, I started to climb the mountain from the climbing path beside the glasses lake. Although the temperature is low, there is no wind at all, so it doesn't feel very cold. At this time, the eastern horizon has shown the glow, the horizon is golden, and it presents a yellow-orange-red gradient trend upward, which is quite gorgeous. Besides the pine and cypress, all other trees on the side of the mountain road have almost no leaves left, and the bare forest looks very desolate. When I came to the 700-step stone steps, I stood on the huge rock beside the road. The scenery in the east is unobstructed. The whole world is filled with a whole group of fog. I can only vaguely see the Jade Spring Mountain. In the farther direction, the CBD high-rise buildings in the east, the exquisite tower at the south gate of the Olympic Forest Park in the northeast, and the central TV tower in the southeast are all only the top is exposed, and most of the bottom is hidden in the fog. This phenomenon should be caused by the large temperature difference between day and night in early winter, the rapid rise of temperature at dawn, the confrontation of cold and warm air, and the formation of fog. And there is no wind this morning, which is not conducive to the dissipation of fog, so this slightly mysterious scene appears. Continue to go up, and come to the huge rock next to the 1600-step stone steps. At this moment, the sun finally shows its head. The red ball slowly rises from the side of the CBD high-rise buildings. The whole process lasts about three minutes. When I walk to the three platforms at the 1900-step stone steps, I just see a complete fireball. The whole mountain is covered with orange warm light. The shadow is projected to the mountain road in front, and it is pulled very long. Today's climbing time is 36 minutes, mainly for exercise. It's cold, it's not suitable to stay too much on the top of the mountain, walk along the wall to the cloud stepping pavilion and then start to go down the mountain. The extremely low clouds on the west side even cover the top of the opposite mountain. The slope and the clouds are reflected into golden yellow by the morning glow, giving people a warm feeling. Today, I walk down the mountain along the big south line, which is equivalent to walking around the wall of Jingyi Garden for a whole circle. Because I walk on the ridge all the way, the view is very open. I can almost overlook the sky and earth in the east all the way. Although the visibility is not high, it is difficult to see specific scenery, but the sun that has just risen is hanging high in the sky, emitting light and heat fiercely. The scene of the morning glow sprinkling all over the sky and earth is still inspiring. Finally, after Qingmo, I went down to the edge of Jingcui Lake. The lake has frozen a thick layer of ice. I just don't know where the fish and ducks in the lake have gone for the winter. From the east gate to the north gate, I saw the little orange cat by the glasses lake today. It hasn't shown up for nearly two months of the red leaf festival. Now that the tourists have retreated, it finally dares to come out for a walk. Little orange is thirsty, goes to the lake to drink water, but the surface of the glasses lake is also frozen, little orange has to find a place where the ice is not firm, find a crack and lick the water hard, it takes a long time to drink enough, then go back to the grass and try to drill into the place where the sun can be sunned. For small animals, winter is always hard.
