Have You Ever Felt Lost In The Darkness, Like Youre Stumbling Over Rocks And Sinking To Unknown Depths?

Have you ever felt lost in the darkness, like you’re stumbling over rocks and sinking to unknown depths? In our darkest moments we need a light to show us the way. It doesn’t matter if the light is provided by someone else or if one finds their own light and rescues themself from the darkness.

Photo by @idee_explores |  It's a hazy day in Sun Valley as smoke from California wildfires thicken the air, fading sunlight to a dull amber hue. Anticipating the deeply filtered light, I take the 4x4 to the highest point on Galena Pass. And I wait. . Gathering rain clouds pass gently northward as the sun falls in the west. The last of the trailing clouds slip by revealing the brilliant sun, heavily filtered in smoky haze. . Through my unfiltered camera lens, a perfectly round sun, surrounded by a moisture halo, sets suspended particles aglow as thicker smoke layers take on purple tones. I feel a certain tragedy in this beauty. So much loss for this momentary vision of brilliant color. . Here's my untouched and #unfiltered image, Blazing Horizon N°4. . #sunsets #wildfire #orange #landscape #sun #landscapephotography #skyporn #exploretocreate #exploremore #clouds #somewheremagazine #idaho #sunvalley #california #conservation #optoutside

True Romance

A plump Super Pink Moon rises, casting its warm glow over the cool Atlantic Ocean. This image reminds me that we each have our own beauty, and when we engage with another beautiful soul the results can be magnificent.

"I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos." — Tom Hanks

Slow the World: Water.falls

A video clip series to sooth your soul. By exploration photographer Idee Montijo.

A deep plunging waterfall hidden away in the wilderness of New England slows down for a time. Watch the drops and streams leisurely drape over the jagged rock face. Draw in a full breath. The finest mist coats and cools your skin as your ears fill with soothing water sounds.

I invite you to experience the Idee Explores video portfolios on Vimeo and YouTube.

Happy "Two"sday 2/22/22 to you!✌️😎
