My favorite thing about backpacking is the feeling of freedom. The clouds and “endless” trees in this photo give the appearance of power and being in charge. What I didn’t notice the fist time was the shelter the clouds seem to give. It gives the other feeling I feel while backpacking of being safe and leaving all my worries behind.
I can see a heart carved out of the clouds in the sky. It helps me to also feel safe and without worry.
The vast landscape creates a sense of nature and beauty. All of the beautiful green trees, the clouds, and the mountains in the background combine to create a beautiful landscape photo.
