My blood pressure was literally 15 points lower today than a week ago.

Maybe because...

forest stream

...some time in the forest...

mtn river

...watching water eddy past...

gorge1

...or the world surge onward...

foxglove

...or stopping for pristine and ephemeral beauty...

hood1

...or lifting your head to see...

hood2

...the enormity and oblivion of all beyond yourself is the definition of "perspective."

No filters or Photoshop tricks were involved other than bumping the contrast about ten points. What you see is what we did, except vastly diminished in scale and impact.

If you look at the bottom picture of Mt. Hood, you can spy the moon to the mountain's left. In the original 480 dpi shot, it's much better.

This would have made my BP go up. Nature gives me panic attacks because it's mainly outdoors.

Oooh. This would take my cholesterol down, too. Thanks for sharing these! That little chip of moon is exquisite.

That's some much needed perspective . . .

Kevin: Great pics. Thanks for sharing. As a fellow Alabamian, makes me wish I could join you. I guess this beats watching oil wash up on our beaches, doesn't it? Enjoy your trip.
