The Magic You Find When You Pull Off the Road
Sometimes, the quietest moments on the road become the most memorable.
La Ventana, Baja Sur — Reflections

I didn’t end up capturing the photo I was aiming for—the windsurfers had already disappeared beyond the frame. But on the walk back to the car, I caught this instead.
When you’re traveling or chasing a sense of adventure, you rarely know what you’re going to find. You just follow the pull, the curiosity, the urge to turn left instead of right. And sometimes, it’s in the pauses—in the unplanned moments where you pull off the side of the road—that you stumble into something unexpected. Something quietly magical. Something you’ve never seen before.
It’s not always the big landmarks that stay with you. Sometimes it’s a car under a palm tree in the middle of nowhere, the hush of sand, the hugeness of the sky. Sometimes it’s just this.
