There are things that we could do almost anywhere, even in the place where we live. By the way, traveling allows you not only to see new things in the world but to discover new sides of yourself too, not because of a mountain, a sea or a river but thanks to the mindset that we can have while traveling.
Our minds, far from the usual commitments, can take us where we couldn't imagine we could be.

That's how I ended up completely naked, on the ridges of Pyrenees.

We've gone a long way. Coma Pedrosa's trekking is more difficult than we expected. The snow and the path's steepness make it harder to proceed and it's extremely unlikly to meet someone else, nor we can see anyone, looking around.

The unexpected

Loretta relizes she weared her trousers backwards, reason for which she's feeling uncomfortable. I tell her to take advantage of a tiny portion of flat path to fix it, before going on. The weather is great and, even if snow persists, the temperature is mild, helped, in our perception, by our bodies, warmed up for the walking. Hanging at my neck, my camera, ready to capture, every now and then, the colours of nature. I take advantage of the situation to take a glance at the photos shot until now. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Loretta shilly-shallying. She stretches while she seems comfortable with the air grazing the skin of her legs. I tell her that, maybe, instead of wearing her trousers back on, it could be better to take the rest off to enjoy the moment and for giving me the chance to shoot some nice pictures to her, nature in nature, tree between trees, the first real wild specimen seen right until that moment. In no time at all, Loretta, who has an intimate relationship with nature, is in her underwear.

I hop here and there, even on steeper places, and shoot bursts of photos while she gives away movements or, sometimes, moves following my demands. The lines she draws, her ease, her being perfectly fit with everything around her, fill my eyes with wonder. The situation shakes me and, in the very same moment Loretta is wearing her clothes back on, I feel that I would have regretted If I wouldn't have done the same as her.

I had to undress

In a few seconds, I'm completely naked. My camera is at Loretta's neck and our roles are perfectly inverted. I feel the air, lighter than ever, and I reach out for the sun, leaving the trees' shadows behind. My feet adapt to the rocks and I feel like a whole thing with everything around me. I step down on the snow, reaching the shiny white with my feet. The cold comes up to my knees giving me a paralysis sensation. The physical part of me wants to go back on the rocks. Another part of me stays there and roots come out of my toes, digging through the snow and going deep into the ground.

The limits we think we have can totally disappear when we dip in a completely new context and what we couldn't do before becomes the most natural thing we can do. Many limits are not our limits but the perception of others'.
