Photo by @idee_explores | “Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky.” . This quote is attributed to Charlemagne in an Indiana Jones movie, but a journalist at ThoughtCo checked and couldn’t find any confirmation of the attribution. Still, the quote perfectly fits Harrison Ford's film as well as it fits this shot of majestic Indianhead Mountain - a beautiful landmark rising above autumn foliage and a chilly Adirondack valley lake. 🍁🍂

The Unbound

Stars have guided celestial navigators through the centuries. Today they beckon the imagination, drawing us up into the heavens. Unbind your thoughts, channel your inner star child, and leave your worries behind. 💫

The Raven

Photo by @idee-montijo | Kilimanjaro National Park, 2013. I really like how the natural light picks up an iridescent blue in the raven's black feathers. We all bear a beautiful light, even in our darkest features.

Photo by @idee_explores |  It's a hazy day in Sun Valley as smoke from California wildfires thicken the air, fading sunlight to a dull amber hue. Anticipating the deeply filtered light, I take the 4x4 to the highest point on Galena Pass. And I wait. . Gathering rain clouds pass gently northward as the sun falls in the west. The last of the trailing clouds slip by revealing the brilliant sun, heavily filtered in smoky haze. . Through my unfiltered camera lens, a perfectly round sun, surrounded by a moisture halo, sets suspended particles aglow as thicker smoke layers take on purple tones. I feel a certain tragedy in this beauty. So much loss for this momentary vision of brilliant color. . Here's my untouched and #unfiltered image, Blazing Horizon N°4. . #sunsets #wildfire #orange #landscape #sun #landscapephotography #skyporn #exploretocreate #exploremore #clouds #somewheremagazine #idaho #sunvalley #california #conservation #optoutside

Life In A Water Town

Idee Montijo, explorer photographer, takes you to the floating city of Belen where the Amazon River's annual floods drowns the streets.

What's life like for people living along the Amazon River in a town known as the Venice of South America? I invite you to visit my short travelogue of my time in Peru during the monsoon season.
