Chill Out; Get Outside of yourself

Gorgeous Photo, yours?

Great photo.

I love the earth. Growing up in Chicago… I just couldn’t wait to get out and explore. I managed to get myself to Outward Bound in Colorado when 16 and climbed my first 14,000 foot mountain. I became a geologist and lived all across distant mountain ranges and explored coral atolls on vacations like Bora Bora as a young man. Worked globally as an adult. Incredible world we live in!

As a geezer I hope to donate to causes that help preserve the wonderful planet that has nurtured life to sentience.

Thanks gents, yes, the photo was taken from the plane by me or the wife. Once I get back I will collate and edit all the photos. It is culture shock in some ways, very much a "can do" attitude in others that is both familiar and reassuring. Our friend here is one of those guys who can do everything. We aren't exactly "roughing" it, but the remoteness and size of the place is, in some profound ways, simply mind-boggling. I'm also amazed at the number of older people up here. This place is not easy, once out of summer. I gather fall is spectacular. The train ride down the peninsula was beauty and grandeur in every direction. Mind blown. 

@whart,  Welcome!  You can tell by my alias I live here.  We go "outside" for the shoulder seasons but it's otherwise hard to leave.  Every day can be an epic day if you try.  Just don't try to audition audio equipment Lol.
