EYE OF THE STORM 👣

A lone paraglider crosses the threshold of an impeding vortex of cloudy storms.

The sky turned. From the approaching front, the winds had picked up as the remaining gliders settled into their last turns. The illusion of the gravity of troubles churned in the clouds above, forming a curtain of tossing shapes that circled around the brightest point, the sun. At the height of its display, a lone glider suddenly appeared, shifting his position in swings as he pushed back briefly into the light before making his descent to earth.

The beauty of flight and the setting reflect in this moment for me. Ironically, it was a brilliant day to start, but as time progressed, weather patterns shifted quickly. A thousand climates appeared almost together, from hot to cold, from still to gusty, from light to pervasive darkness. It was an artistic dream as juxtaposed spaces clashed for space. The paraglider provided the final touch, landing safely shortly after.

ROLLING VISTAS COLLECTION

Welcome to Terra Firma, a place we've inhabited since life began. A place we do not often see for its sheer magnitude and beauty, a place of enormous history and a billion stories to be told and shared.

There is tremendous beauty here for us to see too. We just have to find it, take a moment, and realize it is all around us. We explore the hills, mountains, and crazy landscapes all around us. From far and distant horizons and glorious sunsets to Mother Earth’s own expressions above, ahead, or below us through its vast continents and rolling lands.
