A twisted Bristlecone pine looks to be upside down as it juts out of the terrain in the White Mountains.
While scouting around the mountainous regions around the Owens Valley, I made my way over to the Ancient Bristlecone Forest to take some photos and scout locations for later nightscape trips. I spent some of my time shooting the discovery trail and an extra hour here on this most unusual specimen of a tree. At over 4000 years old Its branches look to have been ripped from the ground and turned over and stuffed back in, as if its roots were reaching out to suck some moisture from the sky. From every angle this tree looks completely different and after an hour thought I had enough, but I'm finding that I need to make my way up there again during a moonrise with a sunset in the background or maybe some lightning behind would make for a very unique comp. As the day drew to a close I was lucky enough to have some stormy weather which I was lucky enough to have throughout the weekend and I actually did get some snowfall which is surprising for July!!! :)
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great week ahead my friends!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
