2410_1169 Aspen Coulee
Back to the "Tree" set after a slight departure yesterday. Here's a very recent photo of Trembling Aspens from a few days ago.
There must be just enough shelter from the wind and just enough moisture in the ground for aspens to thrive in this location: thousands of tiny trees, most of them no more than 12 feet high and six inches in diameter, crowd together at the base of 70 Mile Butte. I hiked with the tripod that evening, which allowed me to shoot at a small f-stop to keep everything in the frame in sharp focus and show the density. I liked the light, too.
