Scale of the Universe

For my first blog post, I chose this picture of me and my friend after climbing our first 14er in Colorado over the summer. As a first time climber, the climb was extremely challenging. A description of the climb can be found here.

I chose this picture because I think it represents how I felt about the universe after the first class. Like the view from the top of the mountain, the universe is beautiful and inspiring. However, it is also a reminder of how small we are in the grand scheme of things.
