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!

Mountains are a constant elevating influence.


"I doubt if in the landscape there can be anything finer than a distant mountain-range.  They are a constant elevating influence."

Henry David Thoreau
