The adventure begins

I came to the realization that the path I was on was really getting in the way of my life. It was time to walk away from the stresses and start living. I'm just about done tying up some loose ends on a film project and packing for my new life. Ahead of me now is camping, fishing, exploring National Parks and anything else that catches my fancy along the way. I'll be building a collection of high resolution panoramas and critter photos and a story or two about the whole experience.

I'll start things off here with a few of my classic shots from Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is quite a sight being above treeline, the point where conditions are so harsh the flora is pretty much limited to lichen on rocks, short grasses, and the occasional flower. Small birds and rodents foraged near me but the wind made up most of the sounds up there. The sense of scale just doesn't make sense in your mind. You see little dots of green that you know are giant trees. And there are so many of them.
