Escape. Take a risk. Get away from it all.

'Went on a very long hike, to get away from it all. It was amazing. So silent out in the forest, miles away from anything. Cell phones didn't work, and no cars or people could be heard. It was truly paradise finding this amazing waterfall in the middle of such a dense forest. The Columbia River Gorge is one of the worlds largest areas of lava tubes, and has the highest concentration of waterfalls than anywhere else in the world. I brought my tripod with me just so I could capture such beauty, but I never knew it would be this spectacular. The sun was going down quickly when I took this shot and it really added to the tonal range for the picture. I had been thinking a lot about my sociology class lately and being out in the woods really brought about a lot of feelings about how I needed to get away from everything more often.'

I think this shot really shows a lot about what everyone wants to experience and reach, but not everyone can. It's hard to escape everyday norms and habits. But once you get away from them, you really don't want to go back.

Just, relax.
Have a great day, with love, Aaron.
