SILENCE

It's been about a month of silence from me. During that time Kassandra and I have traveled to six national parks and I completed a landscape photography course in the Badlands of South Dakota. Now I am preparing for a walk around Mont blanc. At the same time I have been editing thousands of photographs taken during our trip. Strangely I find it difficult to be creative visually and with words at the same time, so here goes - here come the words.

This episode starts in South Dakota and Wyoming, and takes us across the Rockies into Utah.

In Winter a ski resort, in summer a mountain biker’s paradise. Please go to thewalkingpoet.net and the Season 2 webpage to see photos.
