There was this one time when I actually did get briefly lost in a magical forest, but I wasn’t upset at all because LOOK AT IT!!! We are so damn lucky to be surrounded by places like this. 
I figured this photo would be the perfect one to accompany some photos I recently shot on film at the Climate Strike in downtown Vancouver. If we love our planet the way it deserves to be loved, we’ll continue to be able to experience beautiful nature like this!!! 🌎🌍🌏@shotbydevan
