the quivering forest












Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but as you can tell there has been a change of scenery. I'm in Vancouver now! This is what I get to look at up here on Burnaby Mountain at Simon Fraser University. The rolling Cascade mountains and Pacific Ocean in the background still catch me by surprise every day and I still cannot get over how beautiful and picturesque this city is. My muse for this post is Lauren! I wanted her to be dressed in all black because I wanted her outfit to represent the silhouette of the mountains here against the blond sun. The last two pictures are my favourite because the lighting was just perfect for both, and I love the almost ghostly feel in them. I know the album is a little old, but I am absolutely obsessed with Fleet Foxes' self-titled album from 2008 and the title of the post comes from their song "Blue Ridge Mountains". I picked this song for the title because of the haunting harmonies, and the whole thing is absolutely worth listening to! I'm heading to Yaletown tomorrow downtown, so I'll be sure to bring my camera!
