The photo was taken in Byron Bay, the easternmost part of Australia. This photo relates to the theme since it conveys a sense of breaking the rules to get what you want. These two friends decided to scale a dangerous cliff face, despite the crumbling rocks and crashing waves, to get the perfect fishing spot for their daily catch. Although they cannot be seen in the photo, a pod of dolphins was directly under the two friends, along with two whales that were breaching off to their left. Australia is full of all sorts of life, and it's beauty remains unseen.

This picture was taken on the top of a hill surrounded by lots of trees. I think the picture I took for this year's theme relates to an adventure, because I was on a hike when I stumbled across this beautiful part of the sky. I think this picture is beautiful in it's own way with how the light is reflected and made of lots of lovely colors.

Since the beginning of mankind, human beings have looked to the sky to see what is beyond out there. Nowadays the sky is the new frontier. On the beach outside looking up at the sky we can see how much time has passed since the first days of flight. Sometimes there are more things to experience than just what is on a computer screen, and this excellent performance over the beach clearly shows. The power of 70,000 pounds of thrust coming from the engine rattles you right to the bone. You can really feel the power of these engineering marvels.
In this photo, you will see a United States Air Force F-22 raptor deploying countermeasures (Flares) over the beach. These flares are used against infrared-guided weapons or in short-term heat-seeking. From the Wright Flyer to this is a pretty big leap. The Wright Flyer went at a speed of 24 mph. This aircraft can reach speeds of up to Mach 2.25 or 1726 miles per hour, a true example of how far innovations have come over the past decade.

When I was in New York, I saw a bridge is called Queensboro Bridge. It was a nice bridge because of how the lights made it nice to look at.

Behind these doors are a lot of adventures waiting to happen! The bright lights tell us that once we get a ticket, exciting things await all to those who enter!

Dogs, dogs in general just sleep, take walks, and eat. They don't go anywhere; it's never an adventure for them except for my dog. My dog goes everywhere: camping, hiking, and wherever my mom goes. He travels around a lot as a family. It is always an adventure for my dog when we're going somewhere new or when we're going rock climbing like in this photo.

This was taken when my mom picked me up from school. Anytime my dog gets out of the house it's like a little adventure for him. Since he doesn't know where he's going but is just happy to be there.

This photo was taken at a track event. This photograph relates to the theme "adventure" just for the fact that you can see the scene unfolding, the lead runner enjoying his first place lead, but the trailing runner catching up with a determined face, deep in thought and concentration.

This photo was taken in Ensenada, Mexico where we visited the home of our close family members. While exploring Mexico, we found a park and we decided to take a break and allow the kids to have fun. While photographing this image I was taken back by memory to my childhood and how I yearned to experience it all over again. The simple things like finding a weird bug to having mud fights are the adventures that my younger self experienced. I felt like I captured these siblings exploring and showing that their adventure comes in many forms. Although these siblings may grow up and won't remember this moment at their current age as an important matter, they will have memories that will help take an adventure back to their childhood.

The sunny days draw closer. My parents' hard work paid off. I get to dream bigger. This reminds me of my childhood memories where my parents would work for my education, in turn for me to focus more on my studies. During this time, I produced my childhood dreams and imaginations. The field of weeds on the side of the freeway depicts freedom to move and be carefree.
Ever since I was young, I've always been hyperactive. My hobby and one of my favorite sports, running, feels to me like jogging through these weeds so that I can get to the top of the mountain ranges. I have set goals each time I climb up the stages of struggles. From the sunshine's warmth caressing my skin and the weeds pushing me to go far up the deep mountains of nature. The fenced up background symbolizes that I live secluded from how I was feeling back then in my childhood.
Now, I have to own up to expectations as a young adult and transition into being very responsible for myself, instead of my family. This isolation results in the loss of aspiration to come back to them because we "move on with our lives." Recently, I've been trying to get back to being carefree and healthily active. It's important because as I grow older, I will be experiencing sicknesses and taking careful measures.
