During summer break, my family decided to take a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. After coming back from the trip, I wondered what about it infatuated me so much. I spent some time looking back and realized it was more than the breath-taking views, the smell of evergreens, and the bitterness in the mountain air.
What truly entranced me was the escapism the trip offered. While nestled in the thickets of the woods, I felt like I was in another world. The thoughts of meetings and due dates in my own reality vanished, and new free-spirited thoughts started to form in my head. Deep in the valleys, I could feel my creative spirit being revitalized. In these hills, my eye for capturing the world around me was widened, and I wanted to share what I saw with you. Hopefully, after seeing this, you will also look for a place to escape to.
