Quest is a theme this blog can understand.
My header photo may be the best representation I have of the seeking, persistent nature of questing. All my writing, all my photography, is underwritten by that kind of an itch.
Still, here is a different representation. This is a slide from my old Nikon F100 that I took one afternoon at Kootenai Falls near Libby, Montana, where I had a house a decade or so ago. These guys would get together and paddle their kayaks over the falls, seeking the kind of rush you can only get from feeling like you might be about to die.
“Eighteen months of practice and you’ll be ready to join us,” the guy in the photo promised.
Maybe. There’s a time and place for everything.
Ooooo, Nikon F100! Very nice machine.
Feeling like I might die momentarily is not a rush I ever seek.
Generally speaking, it’s a rush I prefer to photograph than experience firsthand.
Wow! That looks wild. Very wild! I will visit Kooteani Falls, near Libby one day… but I won’t be going over them in a kayak or anything else! Nice pic!!
Kootenai Falls is well worth the visit. And while you’re in the area, the Ross Creek Cedars. And Yaak Falls. And…. 🙂
That’s just nuts.
That’s sort of what I thought at the time. 🙂
Wow. Is he alive yet?
What doesn’t kill you… 🙂
Yeah!
Perhaps a bit more important to lose your mind before you’re ready to go over!! Love your header shot
Thank you! I’m pretty sure you’d have to have lost it to do this. 😛
Courage: not the absence of fear. facing fear and overcoming it.
