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!

Spirituality has its origin in the ancient concept of far horizons, beauty and silence.


"There is a close correlation between the vast realm of religious belief or the concept of a Deity and the spiritual values of wilderness . . . , visions that actually had their origin in the ancient concept of far horizons, beauty, and silence."
