Visionaries and mountains go together. Many a great vision for life has come to people who have sat quietly in the rare air of mountain tops, gazing out into the vastness lined by distant horizons.
My name is Don Scrooby and I live in The United Kingdom. I feel that more than anything else, nature, and the objective things around us, convey a speech and a message we always need to listen to and follow. This kind of listening is life-giving and there is a certain form spirituality about it.
In this blog, through the the photographic image and accompanying words, I’ve tried to share this experience as simply as I can. There is an underlying beauty in nature we all need to see and experience, especially in this day and age as we struggle to save our planet.
Most of my shots are taken with a Fujifilm XT100 camera and my Iphone. I’m no professional Photographer, but I do enjoy outdoor walks with my simple gear trying to capture what I see and experience.

Well said. Mountains provide a literal sense of how puny we are, I think. They take us out of ourselves.
Yes, there is just something about doing that, which makes me feel and know how small we really are as humans and how big the world really is. That there is so much more out there than what our minds can take in. 🙂

My husband proposed to me on top of Mt. LeConte in the Appalachian Mountain range. 🙂

That picture makes me feel like anything could lie beyond that mountain. Maybe that’s what visionaries are seeking.
