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 Badlands is a Visceral Experience

 

I experience the Badlands as a very visceral landscape.  It's as though I can actually taste the rock formations within my throat and palate.  Whenever I perceive visually the various spires and hoodoos, a sort of synaesthesia occurs in which I feel fingers of joy and excitement caressing the insides of my heart.
