Rugged Beauty

On March 30, 2017 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Colorado, Photo Challenge5 Comments

There are many beautiful things about the mountains of Colorado and sometimes they aren’t always the typical scenery. As you hike in the Rockies, you often come across trees that have died or fallen down due to storms. While this might seem sad at some level, there are often wonderful details in the withered wood that provides an interesting contrast to the typical, lush, vistas that surround you. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Spring – Wood, we thought that we would focus on some of the photos that we have taken of dead trees and tree stumps. All of these were from hikes here in Colorado, although not all of them were in the Spring since hiking in Colorado during the springtime can be tricky at times.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

As we continue to get settled back into our lives here in Colorado, we are weighing a lot of options for our future. Obviously travelling and sharing our adventures will continue to be our highest, non-work priority, but we are still reinventing ourselves on a daily basis. We are very excited about the possibilities that lay in front of us as much as we are nervous about some of the uncertainties that are facing us in the near-term. We haven’t participated in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for a couple of weeks, so we were determined to make sure that we took the time this week to get an entry in for View from the Back, Bottom, our Underneath. We decided to use a photo that we took on one of the first major trips since we started our blog, which was to Iceland last February. We have to admit that this wasn’t taken with particular purpose in mind, but we took it while looking back towards one of the churches that we saw as we drove along the coast of Iceland.

Change Your Perspective

We have mentioned before that we like taking photos from above the places that we are visiting, that it provides a unique perspective that can’t be found from just walking the streets. The also is true when flying, when you get a chance to see cities, towns, or the countryside in unique and different ways. For this week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Looking Down at Things, we found some recent examples that remind us of how lucky we have been to visit so many amazing places. The first photo is actually of a sunset where the sun was setting below the clouds during our flight to Athens in January. We also chose a photo of the Carpathian mountains from our flight home from Romania. Finally, we chose photos from Paris and Amsterdam from the past couple of weeks. We hope that you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed having the opportunity to capture them.
