The lone tree that somehow was spared the Ax? Reminds me of Appalachian mountains, became the scene of a major logging boom which continued until the 1920's. Logging caused extensive damage to the mountain environment which drew the attention of conservationists in the region and in Washington, D.C.

I just love the last one with the tree. That photo really draws me in.

 

[SonoranDesert]

Me, too! The last one is full of emotion.
Overall, really nice series.

Thank you Cas, Lisa & Jeff. The stands of trees on either side of the road in the first picture are typical Aspens. Further along on a rise by a creek stands this lone majestic tree that I believe is an Aspen as well. Unusual in my experience. I'm happy the photo conveyed the same emotions I had. Put it on my calendar to return in the Fall.

Great images. Like the 1st one. From a hill or drone?

5 Panel Panorama from a hill. I enjoy trying to capture panoramas of wide open spaces. This could have been a 9 panel but it gets too long and narrow. And I think you need a subject. So I cropped to place the early morning sun highlighting the ranch & Aspen stands. Thanks for the question and appreciate any additional thoughts, Rich.

Thanks, Rich. From a tripod on a hill. It is actually a 5 panel panorama. Thinking it could be a good spot for a summer thunderstorm.
