Not height for its own sake, but separation - the quiet that comes when the land opens and you’re no longer inside it. The mountains recede. The trees compress. What felt overwhelming below becomes legible from above.
This image was made in a moment between weather systems, where light flattened the scene and detail gave way to structure. Nothing dramatic happened. Nothing needed to.
It’s a photograph about scale, restraint, and the clarity that comes from stepping back - not away.
