Ecology – The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
This week’s #PPEco Instagram challenge is all about (you guessed it) ecology! How do we affect our surrounding environment and those that share it with us? As travelers, this should be a question we’re constantly asking ourselves.

Inspiration
For @passionpassport‘s #PPEco challenge // I had visited Scotland a couple of times before, but this time, my sole aim was to experience the Scottish wilderness. On my first afternoon in Cairngorms National Park, a couple spotted my camera and steered me toward some very relaxed reindeer. The light was starting to turn golden when I saw them for myself. I slowly made my way over and sat down next to them in the grass. It was my first experience with wildlife photography, and an afternoon for the books.
