For a split second my urges to see such amazing rural American scenes are fulfilled, after that my feet become extremely itchy and Mountain Mike's eye-opening stream confirms to me that i must see such scenes with my own eyes.

Moutinan Mike’s photos offer instant gratification to the landscape lover and endless inspiration to the landscape photographer. With brilliant use of color and toning that seem simultaneously hyper-saturated and painfully subtle, his composition breaks your heart. Yet like any great love affair, passion becomes obsession. One finds they are unable to stop looking once they start. Here you will find dramatic skies, patchworked land and the rest of nature’s glory presented like as a symphony—sometimes gentle and quietly familiar, othertimes wild and booming. Mike is masterfully and expertly skilled at demonstrating the beauty of the changing rural landscape. And what it means to the people who live and work it.
