Just got back from a trip to Owens Valley. Shot this at Patriarch Grove at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains. This was my third attempt to get this shot, as the previous day I got skunked by heavy clouds and last month I had equipment failure. But finally the ancient tree spirits seem to have smiled on me.
This place really is amazing, too. Its incredibly moving to stand up there, in the cold wind at 11,000' on a lonely mountain peak, among the oldest trees on earth. Some of these trees are more than 4,800 years old!
