Breckinridge, Colorado (8/92)
Shot in late August of 1992 in Breckinridge, Colorado, on my second of three visits during college. My roommate and best friend in college, Chip, and his family had a condo out there. This shot was after a surprise blizzard (at the end of August!), taken from the balcony of my room as the sun was setting. My trips to Colorado back then are still some of the most breath-taking, awe-inspiring scenery I've ever seen. The only thing that comes close is my trip to Ireland last summer. Out in the mountains, I always felt incredibly in touch with nature. We went for many hikes on those trips, and at the top of a mountain, you actually do feel like you're on top of the world. Up that high, it was weird, because part of me always felt very small and my problems always seemed insignificant compared to the majesty that was in front of me, but another part of me felt larger than life, looking at complete towns from that high up. Definitely an experience that everybody should have.
