I've heard it said that it takes a certain breed who come to the mountain tops and keep returning. A type of sanctuary to sit in a holy place and feel the insignificance of being one in number, created as all of this. Then feeling so blest to know that I am created as all of this! #adventure #wilderness #estespark #rockymountains #rockymountaintography #colorado #coloradical #coloradotography #coloradocameraclub #bestofcolorado #exploremore #neverstopexploring #backcountry #goatworthy #mountained #betheadventure #liveauthentic #303 #milehigh #themilehighcity #vsco #mextures #rei1440project @highcountryheadwear #highcountryheadwear by its_dr_bob
