This Inspires me everytime I see it ........

This is Tony Brown waiting for the freezing fog to break so he could capture this scene

There were times we could just make out the tors in front of us

There is something special about images with people in extreme environments that challenges me

My photography and the images I daydream of , take me on some of the most interesting/even exciting journeys of my life.

I spent nights out under the Milky Way exploring new places in the dark ,experiences money can`t buy.

I don`t consider myself out there [may be some others do] but I don`t want to miss out on these experiences

Just because we are getting older doesn`t mean we can`t do this

I did my first overnight backpack and my first snowshoe hike out to Seaman`s Hut in August last year and I have done multiple back packs since then

Its addictive ..... a natural high

And this is nothing compared to mountain climbers

It has crossed my mind that some of you live in these conditions for part of the year and others for lengthy periods and it would be very normal dealing with it on a daily basis

For many of us it challenges what is normal and safe

I worked in a ski resort for 5 months ,Les Trois Vallees in France 21 years ago but you still have infrastructure all around you [unless you go off piste] , unlike when you head out into wilderness areas in pursuit of our passion

You also need to be properly prepared and understand the environment and your limitations ,practice in a safe area and take someone experienced with you

Hopefully this inspires you too
