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!

The alpenglow light is so holy, so spiritual!

"The alpenglow is so holy, spiritual; even the inspired atmosphere of the New Jerusalem is inadequate. When we read, 'And God said: Let there be light,' we are too apt to think only of the light of the sun. But it is not the sun that makes the day, it is Love. In this Light of light, rocks and seas and everything is not only illumined, but transfigured and fused and changed into religion."
