#Inside, that's where the Insiders think we belong.
They think the outside is only of the Insiders, and the Outsiders
don't deserve it. And even if you think you are an Insider because of how you vote, the odds are 99% you are an Outsider too.

I spoke with an old man who had lived here in his youth. It had been his grandparents farm. I thought he would be upset by the image of decay and abandonment. But what he saw was... #Home

100 years a sentry at the Abbot’s side door
A lone beacon and silent witness to the night

#Jagged, Fractured, Razor Thin.
Societies balance on a knife’s edge.
Some refuse to ever look down, dismissing the void below.
Sooner or later, they lose their footing...

Grateful for the moments. All the moments. They are the only thing that matters, all we really have. Everything else is either Speculation or History. I am Grateful for the moments... #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #Colorado #Nikon

#SummerDaze Hot, aware, lazy, and intense. A dream while awake, endlessly passing at the speed of light. But the summer sky soon fades, its light only a memory of the time before Autumn.
