    like that you chose monochrome for this shot... lots of detail this way!

    I used to live in the Rockies of Colorado, you make me yearn for a backpacking trip in the high country, stunning B&W.

    Shannon, 99% of what I do is color, but looking at this, somehow I just thought it had to be black and white.

    Sweet Repose, my first hiking experiences as a small child were in the Front Range on family trips to Colorado (we had relatives there)...that's where I really learned to love the mountains.

    What a fabulous photo! I just popped over to look at more of your photos from the Trinities and I especially loved all the flowers! What a magical place!

    Ah, hemlock shadows,
    will you vanish with snowmelt
    or perhaps sooner?
