Sequoia White Out

Posted By Linton Rohr

Nice, Jerry.
Reminds me of the first time I took my brother there.
The higher altitude weather caught him off guard.
Sandels and snow don't mix so well. Right, Mike? wink

Sequoia White Out

Posted By Linton Rohr

While we're in Sequoia...
Here's a few old slides I scanned from one of the many backpacking trips I took in the Mineral King area of the park. One of my favorite regions of the Sierra. This is Sawtooth Peak... an iconic landmark in the peaks surrounding the beautiful valley.

Borders?

Why don't we enforce our borders? Its the one thing the federal government is constitutionally supposed to do, yet they don't, at least in a serious way.

BIG Government is too busy doing the literally countless things they're NOT enpowered to do,
to take care of silly little things like national defense and border control. :S

Right Jim... that's doesn't belong in the landscape forum, at all.
It should have been posted in the Fine Art Photography forum.
Oh wait... nevermind. wink
Very nice image!

Colorado Color

Nice shots, Jim.
I just got back from working on our house (6,800') in Utah for 10 days.
When I arrived, the aspens were just getting started up on the mountains (11,000').
Each morning I saw more and more color, and it was moving down slope.
The day before we drove home, we took an excursion up to Fish Lake to enjoy it all.
(The largest continuous aspen grove in the world - Pando - is up there.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(tree)
It was beautiful. I'll try to post a few pictures.

Don't give up, Stacey.
They get backlogged and it can take a while sometimes.
