Survivor
Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest - Bishop California. My first time to this enchanted forest. This is the Patriarch Grove, not the easiest place to get to. For me it took determination. I have been talking about going here for years but let the 11 mile jagged dirt road and fear of the elevation keep me from making the trek. After being rejected in late July by the snow drift that had the last mile closed to vehicle traffic, i gathered my courage and headed off to complete this 5 hour journey on foot. This type of journey is not for the faint of heart. One must have a love and passion for night sky photography. But for those who do, i say with no embellishment, it is the most amazing place i have been to. Compositions are endless and the sky is as good as it gets. I will return some day when i can stay for a few nights to explore all of what it has to offer.
