WoW!!!

this is what happens. this is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps.

The photos are gorgeous, but the lifestyle isn't. Remember you're only seeing the most cherry-picked and heavily-edited results, not even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to whats involved in capturing them. Not shown are hours of hiking, numerous blisters and bug bites, wild goose chases based on wrong directions, cloudy days, car troubles, hunger, fatigue, illness, gear problems, deadlines, etc, etc.

that’s some gnarly looking thistle. nice mountains too

Lol I don’t know about aesthetically pleasing, more like dangerous. Apparently it’s called “Spiniest Thistle” and i thought winged thistle looked dangerous

Shut up that’s Middle Earth

I know that lens and equipment is a very small part of this equation at this level of photography. However, I’m curious which ultra wide lens you’re sporting.

Looks like a great place for an adventure.

I just got back from the forests of the Tillamook after dropping off the kid at school. I was the only one up there and got stuck around 3 miles in a several times. Got home for a nap before noon. It's not that hard nor does it take much time to do and I never was ant type of outdoors man. Pics from this morning. I'm the only one in that part of the Tillamook, I very rarely see anyone else. That before you know it I'm back at work in the fab. Crazy going from an artificial tech environment of the a fab to the natural forest in just 25 minutes.

That looks like somewhere that you’d have to worry about compys.

Absolutely surreal, love the composition and editing.

True. It's just not the same in the spring.

Do you know what type specifically? We have thistles where i live and there not nearly this aesthetically pleasing
