Thanks for sticking with me despite my infrequent posts. This one is a short one, but hopefully I'll be posting a little more frequently this year. I'm going to cheat a bit today and mix in some photos from previous posts along with a few new images, mostly because I haven't had much time for editing lately (photos from Egypt, India, and Italy to come soon though, hopefully!), but also because there's a theme that's been nagging at me for a little while now: solitude in nature.
There's something about solitude in nature that's always been very alluring to me. Perhaps it's because I tend to think of nature as bustling with life, busy, active, and solitude seems to contrast with that perception. Or, perhaps it's because it gives me a sense of quiet stillness, which can at times be difficult to get in a city (small as the city I live in may be). Of course, I recognize that there's something to be said for busy scenes as well, like this field of poppies on a sunny day near Stonehenge:

But I do think solitude in nature can be quite striking--sometimes peaceful, sometimes eerie, sometimes lonely, but always interesting.
