Into the Wilderness

Though I love living in the city amongst friends and family, a primal urge propels me to leave my developed surroundings and go hiking in the beautiful, uninhabited national parks. There are sublime mountain peaks, grandiose waterfalls, and all kinds of flora and fauna. Alone in the wild, I have learned things about myself that I never knew.

I tried to capture the solitary experience of hiking to the peak of a mountain and seeing a beautiful vista in my model. It is not based on any one trail I have hiked, but rather an amalgamation of many locations I have visited.

Unfortunately, the number of wild places in the world is dwindling on a regular basis. We must protect the national parks and the other remaining natural wonders of the earth.
