Are you a dreamer? I constantly have my head in the clouds.

As I walked through the mountains, with my skis on my feet, I reflected on how lucky I am to be living this life. A life of adventure, away from the regular grind of the 9-5.

It was a beautiful day up high. The crisp winter sun was warming my face and the wind was calm. As we got to a nice take off spot we paused to take it all in. The temperature inversion had created a sea of clouds below us with the surrounding peaks seemingly rising out of nowhere. I posted up, had some lunch and watched my friend set up his paraglider. He meticulously double checked everything one last time and got ready for take off.

I grabbed my camera and waited for him to give me the signal. 3-2-1 and just like that he was off. I watched his sails inflate through my lens as he picked up speed racing downhill on his skis. The paraglider caught flight and he was up in the air. Soaring above the clouds after a perfect launch.

As I watched him get smaller and smaller in the distance, disappearing into the clouds, I felt humbled. Being out in the mountains always reminds me of how small I really am and how special this life is. Witnessing humans push the boundaries of what's possible inspires me like nothing else. We only get one shot at this life, so go live it to the fullest.
