Arrived just in time to witness another statue being put up by the river. Proof that great art requires both vulnerability and questionable balance, this stuntwork sculpture is a meditation on escape and transitory balance.

I love the dark hours of my being.
They deepen the senses…
Then, like colors that aren’t yet known,
Roads appear in the mist
And mountains stand quietly in the distance.

Rainer Maria Rilke
The Book of Hours

You are the only you. This body is yours alone — carry it with care, shape it with courage. It will take you up climbs you once doubted, to places that test your limits and expand your horizons. Fear and shame is the mountain — climb it.

When the sun warms my bare skin and the canyon echoes my breath, I am not seeking meaning—I am becoming it.

What did it for me was to try to normalize the difference between the image pairs. This helped me recognize differences easier without the tonal and lighting noise. Then it turns into a “spot the differences” game.

Naturism, for me, isn’t about fair weather or comfort—it’s about presence. I go nude at dawn, on cold beaches, amongst misty trees. It’s not about exhibition or ease. It’s about authenticity, stepping outside the frame others set, and meeting nature honestly.

I need the sea because it teaches me.
I don’t know if I learn music or awareness,
if it’s a single wave or its vast existence,
or only its harsh voice or its shining

Thinking of an image fit for April Fools, I reflect on Death Valley

I’ve had cupping from acupuncturists before, but then I let a masseuse try—came out looking like a Jackson Pollock in plum

The body remembers everything it’s felt—and now it can live on the internet

“I am living. I remember you.
The breeze like a hand brushing me.
There is something in the way the light
filters through the branches this morning
that wasn’t there yesterday, or I never saw it.”

Each step dissolves the weight of day,
As birdsong lifts my cares away.
The forest, vast, and deep, and free,
Holds something lost inside of me.

We are not destroying the world because we are clumsy. We are destroying it because we are, in a very real sense, gods. We create, and what we create outstrips our control.

Winter solitude—
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.

In the face of the vast and indifferent sea, dare to say yes. Yes to life, to art, to the wild and unrepeatable story only you can tell.

When a nude figure turns away from the camera and gazes into the landscape, it becomes a quiet invitation—to see, to feel, to exist in the same space, if only for a moment.

This is my Wanderer Above the Fog.

Repost and share your naturist photo that captures this moment.

Yes! “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog” is Casper David Friedrich’s most remembered piece and no doubt has inspired many a mountain climber.

It’s a challenge for me to see a landscape now and not imagine how it could be improved by a nude figure sharing the view.

To tread nude into the world is to embrace the unknown. In every step, nature returns far more than one seeks—but only if one dares to go.

The struggle is not against the mountain, the cold, nor the ceaseless winds but against the self. To press onward despite nature’s indifference, to carve meaning against the rock—this is what it means to will oneself into existence.
