Hello from the high Rockies of Colorado. My name is Brandt, pleased to meet you. I’m a writer but I probably shouldn’t be. I live in a little ghost town called Leadville. If you like mountains, snow, jokes, stories, countdowns, running, hiking, breathing, not working, etc., then you and I have a lot in common. Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
The photos are great, gotta be honest I skimmed the story it was a bit long.
Not a lot of murders in those mountains?
Thank You, Yes The Story Was Long So I Do Not Blame You For Skimming.
I Am Not Aware Of Too Many Murders In These Mountains Although The First Picture Has Bones In It So Something Fishy Is Going On There.
Incredible story. I especially liked the ending!
Thank You For Reading And Commenting And Liking The Ending.

Are you sure?
Not 100% Sure, Maybe The Comment Goes Here Instead?
Henlo. Me likez your post. I like how the first and end parts are repeating.
To me, the story you are telling is that you have been struggling with some thingy and you are doing hiking as your therapy.
I hopez you are saying goodbye to your struggles and not saying goodbye to the world :D
Me is a blade but a hidden one. Pleased to meet you too. I like breathing too so we have a loooot in common.
Signature goes here, too.
Hi @hiddenblade, You Are A Keen One Indeed.
Hiking Is But One Of The Therapies I Use For The Various Thingys I Struggle With. Other Therapies Include Hitting Myself In The Face, Which Is Going To Stop Very Soon. Do Not Worry, I Am Not Saying Goodbye To The World Just Yet.
Glad To Hear You Like Breathing Too. It Is One Of My Favorite Things To Do. :)
Very creative and mysterious way of telling a story with amazingly crisp and vivid photos! Great shots you got there, Brandt.
Are there too many mosquitoes in your place that you keep slapping your face? You better use mosquito net or repellant! 😄
Kidding aside, any struggle will always pass. As the saying goes, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to keep moving to reach the light. And everything will be alright from there. Hiking to places like these and being one with nature is a great way to unwind, focus and put things in the right perspective. I hope you are feeling better...
Thank You @macoolette. :) No Mosquitoes Here, Thankfully.
In My Experience The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Tends To Turn Off Randomly And Leave Me In The Dark.
Fortunately, I Am Pretty Good At Moving In The Dark So I Just Keep Moving Until It Comes Back On.
Very good! That is the only way to go for non-losers. 👍😊
In the little signature column at the end of the post it is mention ' you are a writer' and second thing is about the 'ghost town'
I think you need to add more into it @brandt and edit the signature with "Photographer at Heaven". 👍.....
You keep me calling with all those amazing clicks of the Heaven or i say paradise. ....the story behind the beautifull scene would be worth listening...but let me enjoy the epic picture collection which defines nature with a new dimension.....awesome take and thanks for sharing..👌👍

Thank You For Your Comment! :) I Am Indeed A Writer But There Is More To It —
I Probably Should Not Be A Writer.
You See,
I Am Quite Burned Out On Writing After 10 Years In The Writing Industry, So It Is Nice Sometimes To Only Post Photos And Keep The Words To A Minimum. Besides, It Often Takes Me Hours And Hours Just To Obtain The Photos I Post, And So I Do Not Always Have Much Time Left Over For Writing About Them.
However, I Thought You Might Like To Know A Little Bit More About The Story Behind The Epic Picture Collection, So Here Is A Topo Map Of Where I Was Exploring:
The Red Dots Indicate My Start/Finish Location (At Weston Pass, 39.131323, -106.182234) Along With The 3 Summits I Gained Along The Route. The Map Does Not Show My Actual Route, Just Those 4 Points, Because I Am Too Lazy To Figure Out How To Draw Routes On CalTopo.com Maps, Assuming That Is Even Possible Of Course.
I Am Now Tired Of Typing Every Word Capitalized. So This Is The End. The Very End.
Well i was not aware of your writing experince and knowing now hold my breath. 10 years in writing industry is too much...incredible work...master👍

LOL, Yes! You Are Very Much Correct. Way Too Much!
Hello Brandt. You for sure should be a writer. The writing was great! Original and non-typical. I've actually never seen such approach to storytelling ever :D And I liked it a lot :) I feel the story was about upcoming winter in Colorado, going for a hike on fresh air and just enjying life :) Great work. Btw I'd suggest you remove #throwawaytag and use #walkwithme :) Peace !
I Think My Weird Approach To Storytelling Is Actually The Result Of Being Employed As A Writer For 10 Years. I Am No Longer Able To Tell Stories The Normal Way. Whatever That Is…
I Have Seen The #walkwithme Tag Before. Maybe I Will Start Using It. Thank You For The Suggestion!
Haha well that certainly makes sense why u decided to write with pictures then :D
@brandt, i like how you present your story with photos. This was a different type of story telling. Were you tried to show the beauty of the mountain scenery? and you nailed the beauty of it.
Why you hitting your own face :p
@oliviackl I Have Been Hitting My Own Face For Reasons That Will Be Revealed in T Minus 9 Days.
Thank You For Your Comment! :)
@brandt, ok ok will wait until your T minus 9 days. You know what? Your T minus days, you remind me of trading. T+3 days LOL. But is a good one. You get reader suspense and want to read more.
your story is too much poetry given hahahaha.
your fantastic photographs, if not as a writer you are not as good, as a photographer you are already successful.
Did you use poralizer filter? I like vegetation between arid land, pines and snow, very nice place where you live.
thank you for sharing these excellent photographs <3 every day that passes I feel I should know all the sites I see in steemit, or maybe exchange city.
greetings peace and love
Hi @arrozymangophoto, Thanks For Commenting! I Am Glad You Liked My Photographs. I Did Not Use Any Filters. Basically I Just Shot The Photos With My iPhone And Then Edited Them With The Mac Photos App Before Uploading To Steemit. It Was Pretty Easy.
I liked the part about the story.
Thanks. You Have Been Storytold.
I'll give credit to the level of wit used in this post. You're photos are amazing and it's use here blends with the thought. Definitely deserves the curie it got for creativity.
Thank You @adamada, And Nice Palindrome Name You Got There. :)
I feel like I've been storytold :D Very different approach to story telling :)
Did you take these photos recently? I just wonder if you have snow already.. it was snowing a little where I live and I've heard that there is snow already in the Alps.
I like to believe that the bones in the first photo are animal bones :D Otherwise it would be too creepy.
I like the blue sky contrasting with the white snow. It's a pity that we don't see blue sky here very often during the winter time..
What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you for the storytelling and sharing your photos with us :) It was a lot of fun!
I Took These Photos About A Week Ago. Yep, We've Got Snow. :) Those Are Indeed Animal Bones, Yeti I Suspect. Still Creepy If You Ask Me.
I Just Use My iPhone To Take Photos, And I Also Do Some Basic Editing In The Photos App On My Macbook. Nothing Fancy. All Photos On My Blog Have Been Done That Way.
Someday I Will Get To Switzerland And See The Alps. Hopefully Before I Am Dead, But If Not, Then After I Am Dead Will Work Fine.
Hahaha, I hope you'll get here before you're dead BUT after might me more comfortable. I can imagine it's easier to fly around as a ghost than climb the mountains up! :D
Now why on earth would you want to stop hitting yourself?
I Do Not Know, I Am Probably Just Setting Myself Up For Failure.
