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 radiance of the soul is clearer than mountain air because of its transcendence



"The radiance of the soul is clearer than mountain air because of its transcendence."

St. Bernard of Clairvaux,
12th century Cistercian monk
