Looking Up

Looking up towards Hallets Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park on a fine winter day.

Old tree and an even older mountain.

There is wisdom up in the hills.

I love the gnarled tenacity of this tree. It is a beautiful thing! The angle of the shot adds to the magnificence of the scene. Well done!

  Thanks Eliza, the angle was fun. and a new perspective is always a good thing. This tree sure can endure given it was thriving just about at timberline.

Impressive shot. The tree appears dead, and again there is life when you focus on it.

Beautiful. Something I can’t quite comprehend is the allure of monochrome photography. Somehow strikes to my soul. Thank you for visiting one of my sites.

Blessings always…..

  Hi Shirley, I agree BW photography has a special allure. Perhaps it is the removal of colors and focus on tones. I guess the simplicity of reducing things to light and form that makes it alluring.
