Muench Juniper
Juniper, Yosemite NP, 2009
This is the prize we were after on our Half Dome hike in early October. The idea for this shot came from landscape great, David Muench. Here's a link to his version. David's work is my #1 source of inspiration for my own photography. But, some flickr contributors are also amazing me with their work, and I'm indebted to their work as well.
A note about this tree: you'll notice, if you compare the 2 pictures, that branches have been removed from the tree since David's picture was taken. We presume they became fuel for a nearby fire pit. I wish there was some way to protect treasures like this. It seems just you and I 'see' the beauty of such creations and respect them enough to leave them alone.
Thanks for viewing. Comments appreciated.
