it's a mountain

Kourtni Martina March 5, 2018

Have you ever had something so incredible it's been forever etched into your mind? You close your eyes when you hit the pillow and that's what you see, almost everytime. Maybe it's a moment in time. A face. A dream.


For me it's a mountain. It's the wind in my hair that I hadn't washed for 5 days and the earth under my fingernails. It's the song that's stuck on repeat in my head even though there was no music playing, but somehow at that summit I'd never heard anything sweeter in my life.


That's what I try to attain with the images I share. It's not to show you the scenery, the views or the light, however beautiful they may be. But I hope you get to feel even a fraction of what I felt in all these wild places that have left their mark on me.

Just one of those mountains that moved me.
