- Day Three -
The day started off a bit rainy and cloudy, but cleared up as we checked out some antique stores in the area. The sun began to shine through and we ended up having a gorgeous boat tour of Flathead Lake!
An abandoned school. Very weird to see writing still on chalkboards, notebooks under desks, and school event posters on the walls while everything is left to decay. It's almost a reflection of the Philadelphia public school district.

Mini Series: Evening Drive
It was one of those days CJ and I didn’t want to lay around the apartment after work, so we hopped in the jeep and drove. We followed random country roads, eventually leading to the Mason-Dixon line. It was a peaceful, simple evening and one of our favorite things to do.
- Day Two -
After watching the early sunrise over the mountains for the first time, we headed into Gatlinburg.
We stopped at Herbert Holt Park on the outskirts of town. While wandering around, a park worker pointed out a bald eagle to Mom & I. We explored around there for a bit and then drove through Gatlinburg, which was a busy, but interesting town.
We could certainly have spent time (and money!) there, but with Covid-19, we gladly headed towards the woods & mountains instead.
Weaving around corners and making our way upwards, we reached the peaks named "Chimney Tops". Neither of us expected to see mountains and ridges quite like that, which was a genuine surprise. We were getting into the heart of it!
Taken by my lovely mother! She's got a great eye :)
I upgraded my XPRO1 to the XPRO 2 in Hong Kong and the difference is astounding.
It's going to be my travel companion for the foreseeable future!

Series: Shapes & Texture
This collection was gathered through many different photo opportunities throughout the years. I always felt these individual photographs did not quite match the original series or spoke to their location. Instead, as a collective, they each represent sort of a puzzle - whether it be from their shape, texture, or composition. After gathering numerous examples and keeping in their own separate folder, it became more apparent that they matched. The simplicity of form, similarity in structure, and two-dimensional visual led me to create this focused series.
(If you’re just now tuning in, this is another installment that is part of an ongoing series. You can start at the beginning- youloveben.com/choose-your-own-adventure)

We started our day early and headed east towards Glacier National Park. Instead of taking the main road to the entrance, I suggested driving the longer way around to explore, why not? We are glad we took the path less traveled because we saw some awesome sights all around the Apgar Mountains!
- Day Two -
We drove past the Chimney Tops and up the winding roads. There were tunnels every so often where everyone would honk their horns.
Shortly after, we arrived at Newfound Gap: the state border between Tennessee and North Carolina. Elevation 5046 feet!
It was here that we discovered why it was named the Great Smoky Mountains. There was a hovering blue haze across all the hills, mountains, and peaks.
Next stop was Clingman's Dome - the highest point of the entire Appalachian Trail. We were so high that clouds were eye level. We were surrounded by the Smoky Mountains.
