Blindly enjoying the natural world just isn’t an option for me anymore; sustainable life choices and travel have become intrinsically linked and I’m wondering how I can do more. There’s more to ethical living than veganism.
Trad at the Castle Rock of Triermain
We thought that golden hour was falling a little flat. How wrong we were. I sent the Mavic up and it captured what my own, high viewpoint eyes couldn’t quite get: an even higher sweep of the two valleys, the misty hidden mountains in the background, and the stillness of the air.

The sun dipped lower and lower. I fell, again and again.
And then, I just… got it.

I am putting more value into being alone. Not just accidentally, but to actually go out and seek aloneness.
Being creative when you don’t want to be creative
Staying inspired is not a passive process. It’s not something you wait for. It’s something you go looking for – you chase it. You do it even when you don’t feel like it.
