\u201cI took this photo in late June of 2016 while in Sigtuna, Sweden. I used my old iPhone 6s (native camera) then did some light post-processing with Snapseed, Photoshop Fix, and VSCO. This photo didn\u2019t need too much editing at all unlike some of my others\u2014nature did most of the work here. This was the best shot out of maybe a dozen or so captures.\u201d<\/span><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_masonry_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”1″ element_width=”12″ gap=”35″ arrows_color=”blue” paging_color=”grey” include=”61138″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1498483154312-93e1c267-c034-8″]

\u201cComing down from an after-work trail run on a ridge above a canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains, this grouping of saguaros caught my eye. Iconic, perhaps clich\u00e9, these giant cacti, but I never tire of running among these living columns that can live for more than two centuries and weigh a couple tons. The slant of light on winter evenings adds such a contemplative flavor to the desert. It\u2019s good to be reminded of our own brevity.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”]
