"The Spirit And Need For Adventure..."




"Adventure is a human need. We recognize it as the daring thing which makes us bigger than our usual selves. Adventure is the curiosity of man to see the other side of the mountain, the impulse in him that makes him break his bonds with lesser things and frees him for greater possibilities". W. Burnett
Sometimes... A fellow wild place wanderer is able to capture such spirit of adventure within certain images... Dru accomplishes this in special ways...

My appreciation to Dru on Flickr for his enspirited photography that blends with Burnett's quote: http://www.flickr.com/photos/druclimb/

I don't know anything about psychology, but there does seem to be a deep human need for adventure. You can see that all throughout history: claiming of the west, the age of exploration, even the migration from Africa.

Thanks for visiting my blog and introducing me to yours. What an interesting and mysterious person you are! Your posts are beautifully written and the pictures are spectacular. I must go west to see the Rockies soon.
