Beartooth Mountains

I had a backpacking trip in the beartooth's this weekend with environmental studies. It was really sweet. We camped at Albino lake the first day, climbed Lonesome peak the second day, and hiked out on the third day. It was a really great trip and I got some sweet pictures out of it.   

Lonesome peak.

Looking back I should have moved the backpack in the foreground.

Backpacking in the Crazies

Here are some photos I took while backpacking in the Crazies over labor day weekend. It was pretty smoky so they aren't crystal clear but I think no matter what the Crazies are always pretty awesome.

View of Blue Lake threw the trees.

There was actually people hiking up to ski in the snow field all the way to the left.

Tanzania!

I read a National Geographic article on the Hadza tribe in Tanzania. I am beyond excited to go to Tanzania! Like REALLY excited! I found this one article on a tribe that we are visiting with while there. It's a really interesting article and if your going to Africa I recommend you read it. The Hadza are one of the last true hunter-gather tribes on earth. They have no crops, no live stock, and no permanent shelter. They even migrate just like the animals surrounding them. Above is a link of some of the photographs taken of the tribe. They are remarkable. And below is a link to the article. Check it out!

Sable Island Horses

Roberto Dutesco, is a photographer that did nature photography work on Sable Island, a small island off the coast of Halifax, Canada. The Island is a very untouched place with no more than 10 people there at a time. I've always been fascinated by this small, secluded island and how rich it is in wildlife. I think it's so intriguing to me because growing up just north of New York city, primitive places such as Sable Island seem unreal. Roberto Dutesco was the first person to ever publicly release photographs of this island. He opened a studio in SoHo Manhattan that I visited once while in the city. After looking at the price tags of these photos I realized they weren't in my price range but, hopefully one day when I'm rich I can cover the walls of my house with these gorgeous photographs. Roberto hopes to bring awareness to the island and to teach people that some places in the world deserve to be left untouched. I attached his website below and some of his photographs of the wild horses.
