TL;DR; We went for a walk. It was very nice. For 3 years we’ve been talking about hiking in Torres del Paine, with the sole purpose of capturing ‘that pic’. The reasons for not going sooner have been various but were led by the simple fact that we were intimidated by the idea of spending…

Perfect Moon Landing
Some people are smarter than me. I know it. I’m ok with it. The way I see the world, we all have our role. Steven from Star Circle Academy and Phil McGrew are two such people. They worked out that if you stood in just the right spot, at just the right time, on just…
