Day 14- PJ

*Edited to add better quality photographs

11/14. A song day. "Mountaineer"
That's an easy one for me, as I have spent a good amount of time the last few years wandering the peaks and valleys of the mountains of Utah, Nevada and California.
I picked up 2 pictures of value- one of Squaw Peak in Provo- one of my favorite hikes. This picture was influenced and inspired by the song "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" which was playing in my ears at the time of the picture snapping.
The second is a pic of my personal gear- water device, trekker poles, boots, GPS, day pack. Packed up next to the door and ready for a trip.

With the song, I chose to go with a droning/trancy feel- when I hike I find myself hitting a strange place of zenness. The word trance isn't quite accurate, but there isn't another that I can think of that accurately portrays my state of mind when hitting a summit.


I chose to ignore the card's instruction that this was to be Black and White.

I love the trancy feel you've got going on in the song, and it somehow fits the image of Squaw Peak.
