Russell Backman

I am not proud of it….ok, maybe a little.

In college, I had sex with my girlfriend (we had a modify open relationship, so I am not a total douche bag at the time), her sister, then her mother over the course of two weeks. It wasn’t a planned thing, it all just fell into place. I have always wondered if they talked to each other and found out.

Shkhara Glacier, Georgia

• Woken up with a perfect views in front of me

All these photos except last one (clouds) are taken in Ushguli, Georgia, which, per some sources, is the highest settled point in Europe. It’s absolutely stunning and perfect hiking destination for those who love mountains.
