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!

In the Spirit of Wildness,Stephen HatchFort Collins, ColoradoP.S. There's a label index at the bottom of the blog.
Wilderness is a spiritual necessity, an antidote to the high pressure of modern life.
"Wilderness to the people of America is a
spiritual necessity, an antidote to the high pressure of modern life, a
means of regaining serenity and equilibrium . . . It gives them
perspective and a sense of oneness with mountains, forests, or waters . . . Its real function will always be as a spiritual backlog in the high speed mechanical world in which we live."
