I chose this photo to represent adventure because if I was starring in an adventure, I would want it to take place under this corner of sky, when the moon is so bright it lights up even the darkest parts of the city.

This photo was taken at the mountain where there was just land. I was taking a hike, trying to enjoy and embrace the moment, until seeing the horse by itself made me feel like he was alone having no one to be with. I took the time and enjoyed the moment watching the horse roam around. I decided to take the picture, seeing how beautiful it looks. This picture relates to adventure because it's a horse where it has no one to be with. Taking the risk to get up close and take the picture.

Two girls find the end of their adventure.
Two girls go in the woods and find a mysterious cabin. They go inside of the cabin and find an old lady with many bottles of potion in the cabin. The two girls drink each one. The potion shrinks them into the size of a peanut. They then try to themselves back into human form and look for a mysterious mushroom planet that will turn them back into human size. They then find the mushroom planet and they each eat one of the mushrooms and return back into human form.

Stop and think. What can adventure really mean? Your mind may wander to trees and plants, but freeways are always an adventure. These highways connect you and the world around you. There can be a lot of traffic, or none at all, even so it can change your final destination. One moment you can be driving to Downtown LA, and a second later, you are arriving at a local Chinese restaurant. We start a new adventure any time we enter a new interstate or interchange because we don’t know what lies ahead. It is like our nervous system, but this one keeps California flowing.

The thought of an adventure may be a hike or lots of trees but the true adventure is the bigger picture, the open world. Never knowing what you could find or what to expect when facing the dangers of the world. You make your adventure. You choose your journey and where you go, you just never really know what’s going to happen along the way. The world is not all peaceful so don’t be blinded by its beauty. Everyone is on their separate adventure for a lifetime.

This photo was taken on a trip with my family in Malta. On my trip, we came across this beautiful spot that I had to take a photo of. I chose this photo specifically because I see a strong theme of adventure in it. The person in the photo is looking out to the sea and the sun is in the center of the picture, creating this line of light. This portrays the idea that the step towards adventure is just as important as the experience. The light represents the step forward to an adventure. You look out towards what is coming. You never know what adventure will come to you, but the reach towards that journey is important. This journey can often bloom into something beautiful. This is what my photo is displaying.

The photo was taken in Oceanside, during one of the many adventures my friends and I had. It relates to this year's theme adventure because it shows the different scenery you see when on an adventure and how it can seem so peaceful when on an adventure.

We often fear getting lost when stumbling upon long dark hallways, or maybe we get curious and want to know what's at the end of them, like a tunnel. Nobody envisions these long boring rooms to be any fun. Well, that's what people see. You could travel through them often and find or stumble upon something intriguing. Using our imagination, we can find adventure anywhere, including hallways.

This photo was taken at Medieval Times in Buena Park, CA. I think this photo represents “adventure” because the knight was about to go into battle against the other knights. It was also an adventure for me because it was my first time in Medieval Times. It was very exciting to watch and I thought it was very fun.

Planes. They can be used to go to any destination. Anywhere you want to go. You buy a ticket and watch the clouds fill your window. You fly through the sky following your dreams and hopes. The sky is always the limit and the limit doesn't exist in your imagination.

Turtles. Recognized by many as the picturesque example of longevity. They move through life steadily, with heavy steps, and zero spring in their stride. Some picture their excursions as tiresome or melancholy, but maybe, they have misread the turtle’s story. Their small steps could allow them to fully experience every minute detail the average venturer would easily overlook. Their slow paced journeys may be the most gratifying adventures of them all.
This photo was taken at my home, my pet turtle modeling as the main subject.
