UNPLUGGED Flickr Pick: Found Drinking Fort

UNPLUGGED is a state of mind.

It's that point in your consciousness where you can feel at one with nature, escaping the trappings of the day-to-day to an almost dream-like place where nothing else seems to exist besides you and your natural surroundings. It is our opinion here at VIA that Vancouver holds a unique place in the civilized world in that reaching this state often requires no more effort than simply pulling off to the side of the road, pocketing your keys and taking a few steps into the forest.

Perusing the UNPLUGGED Flickr pool for shots to showcase I came across a photo that flashed me back to last summer. It was the first time I had seen one of the "guess where" posts that pops up on these pages every now and again by Jef Choy called Places Where Kids Drink. Today's shot fits both the UNPLUGGED theme of escape into the outdoors and Jef's theme of, well, places where people go to drink. It's called "Found Drinking Fort" and it was shot by Gary Hubbs on 35 mm film in his pre-digital days.

Thanks for sharing Gary.
