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!

Look at the glory! Look at the glory!



"Look at the glory! Look at the glory!"

The Contemplative John Muir

On Saturday night, the western sky remained clouded for most of the late afternoon and early evening. Then, ten minutes before sunset, the sun reached a thin band of clear sky located between the cloud bank and the horizon. Suddenly, all of the rock formations began glowing with a hot orange hue. It was glorious!
