Welcome! I am a contemplative thinker and photographer from Colorado. In this blog, you'll discover photographs that I've taken on my hiking and backpacking trips, mostly in the American West. I've paired these with my favorite inspirational and philosophical quotes - literary passages that emphasize the innate spirituality of the natural world. I hope you enjoy them!

Alpenglow light tinges, permeates, covers and glorifies the mountains.


"The very finest, softest, most ethereal purple hue tinges, permeates, covers, glorifies the mountains . . . How lovely then, how suggestive of the best heaven . . .!"

The Contemplative John Muir, p. 162
