"No place is boring, if you’ve had a good night’s sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film." -Robert Adams 

Robert Adams focused on the changing landscape of the American West. Adams moved to Colorado in 1964. His photos, although some may be free of humans, his images show the impact humans have had on nature. In this image, there are no humans but you can tell that humans are not far because of the house cat wandering down the road. I think that these pictures are beautiful because Adams captures something that is slowly dwindling. I know, in my mind, I can picture somewhere like this that I have been but I'm not sure that many people can.
