| Bristlecone Pine Trunk - Inyo County 2017 |
High up in the White Mountains. Mike likes to pay a visit whenever he's in the vicinity. Maybe some day he'll set up camp there so he can get some sunrise photos.
Some day.

One thing I noted when I was there looking at the Bristlecones.
The exposed bark was striated with very sharp veins--sharp enough to cut your finger if you weren't careful.
Also, the tourist walk forbids stepping off the trail to get closer shots of the trunks. Frustrating.
I did it anyway, and got one of my greatest shots up there.
Ha. Certainly, veering off-trail with a view camera is more obvious than with a small digital hand-held camera. Also, no zoom lenses available back then.
