In both cases it was in quiet wide open spaces in the west. Riding down Ohio Creek road outside of Gunnison CO.



Another time was in Coloardo as well. In the high desert of Gateway. Being a tiny speck on a massive, and sometimes inhospitable landscape, can foster the feeling. Each time I have felt it, I have been acutely aware of my insignificance.
