Kyle Quin Schrock

An adventure photographer who travels the world capturing gorgeous imagery has had a serious accident while hiking in Portugal.

36-year-old Kyle Quin Schrock from San Diego, California, operates the popular Instagram page @everchanginghorizon and posted a video from his hospital bed in Madeira to explain what has happened.

“Brief intermission from beautiful photos to show where I’m at right now,” Schrock says, visibly pained. “I fell from a cliff in Madeira about a week ago. I fell about 60 meters. I thought it was my death, but eventually got caught on a piece of grass, like a little bush. Did not feel strong enough for me to get caught on. I was very surprised.”

According to a GoFundMe set up for Schrock, the ground beneath him gave way, which is what caused the fall.

Schrock says that he heard his friends’ voices above him informing him that a helicopter was on its way to him.

“And that was the best news that I could ever get,” he says.…
