The west. It’s magnificent peeks and shallow valleys and river basins are just the tip of the iceberg that defines the rocky region of the United States. Sometimes, the greatest stories are the ones we have forgotten.

Silver and Gold

We cannot stop fall from coming, or winter for that matter, but we can be aware of our own behaviors that contribute to them becoming harsher every year. We live in a large place, with some of the most amazing natural beauty to ever exist on this planet, but, within that beauty lies little reminders of our past and past that we sometimes just cannot seem to keep a hold of.

The presence of humans in the new world, or America, predates any European explorers by thousands of years. This was their land to begin with and we did what we have done best over the years, we stole until we got exactly what we wanted.

 When we choose to ignore our problems, when they are not on the surface, sometimes overlooked, they can have a devastating reaction. Those choices we all make, individually or collectively all make an impact on our future and sometimes, that future can be devastating.

Implosion and Rebirth

There is something about Germanic fairy-tales that is captivating and when told right, everyone creates a similar mental picture.
