Adventures can be dangerous even for those used to the thrills
There are terrifying views from trails walked
Or a scramble across to a peak seemingly beyond one’s years
I’d say though that what’s really terrifying is sitting and doing nothing
The routines of a life can temper too much a person’s soul.
Another work of short poetry or prose to describe and complement the image captured one early morning while walking the Red Beds Trail in Devils Tower National Monument. To compose this image I went back and forth in my mind how high to have Devils Tower in the image. The skies were amazing with the clouds, but the landscape with the trees and prairie grasses was also a sight to take in, especially as the sunlight moved across adding different hues to the greens and yellows as well as shadows cast. Metering the image was then a matter of finding a good enough one to not blow anyu highlights while later pulling the shadows out in post-production with Capture NX2.
