Nature

On the other side: LAPC & WWP

On the other side of darkness,
it may be difficult to find a clear path ahead

Lava Butte, Oregon

The journey towards a viable future
may be surrounded by ghosts of what once was

Remnants of fire, Santiam Highway, Oregon

Meander between colorful boulders haphazardly blocking the trail
in a landscape dark and unfathomable

Abert Lake, Oregon

Hike to majestic mountains to discover distant aspirations
but be aware of obstacles lurking in the shadows

Near Mitchell, Oregon

Keep climbing upwards because on the other side of the hill,
there is a place full of light and acceptance

East Lake, Oregon
