An amazing picture of a climber in sunset, National Geographic always makes me long for my backpack, but… OMG! It’s Jared Leto!? THE Jared Leto. Climbing. In the setting sun. In Yosemite National Park.
Anyone who has seen My So-Called Life will understand why my heart starts beating just a little bit faster. He embodied all my early teenage longing and promises of the future. The mysterious musician who never quite materialized in my real teenage life. I still get strangely weak in the knees from grungy flannel shirts.
And now he is making documentaries with National Geographic about wilderness explorers to celebrate the centennial of the US National Par Service. Jared Leto climbing in the setting sun in Yosemite National Park. It is possible to get too much of good things.
