Crimson flames tied thru my ears, Rollin’ high and mighty traps. Pounced with fire on flaming roads, using ideas as my maps. #coloraday #redwed #alphabetchallenge #dfordramatic #photography #sunrise #eastcoastkin

The ideal of freedom is a creation of every spirit; it is an unforgivable error to consider freedom from a historicist, instrumental, and utilitarian perspective. Freedom is an eternal and absolute value.
[Carlo Rosselli 1899-1937]

Lake Drummond in the Dismal Swamp. After a three mile paddle down the feeder ditch, portage around a spillway, you come out to the wide open.

...The sky belongs to all eyes, and each eye, if it wants, can take in the entire moon, the stars, the sun.
Every eye takes in everything and nothing is ever missing: he who looks at the sky last finds it no less brilliant...
