My Float Space

Am I #shark bait here?? Coolness settles into my wetsuit as I snap photos of our #survey team's boat activities. I can't help taking a moment to appreciate that my office today is the crisp clear and ultra-salty water of Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea.

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

Slow the World: Water.falls

A video clip series to sooth your soul. By exploration photographer Idee Montijo.

A deep plunging waterfall hidden away in the wilderness of New England slows down for a time. Watch the drops and streams leisurely drape over the jagged rock face. Draw in a full breath. The finest mist coats and cools your skin as your ears fill with soothing water sounds.

I invite you to experience the Idee Explores video portfolios on Vimeo and YouTube.
