Alpine
I was on a hike this weekend at the Enchantments Lakes (near Leavenworth, WA). We through-hiked it in a day, meaning dark to dark.... BUT what an amazing place! The larches are bright yellow right now and it's like another world up there.... Thought these bright squiggley larches made for a good frame of the distant jagged mountains. Plus I was hypnotized by the yellow/blue contrast....@_@. =)
We climbed up that mountain pass in the 2nd pic.... From the top you look back down and wonder how it was possible! :) I adore the highlighted slopes in that shot.
The simplicity of the 3rd shot makes me daydream =] I like macro shots and seeing the little needles and tree rings so detailed!

Very nice pictures, Lea! :)
I love the dramatic scenery, and it's a real treat to get pictures from the back country because many of us don't have a chance to trek out there like we used to.

thx -happy to share :) it's a pretty awesome place especially at this time of year, the trees are fantastic!
Great captures Lea. Being an Arborist I appreciate the Larch trees. We do not see them even in the California mountains. One of the few conifers that lose their needles in the winter. Thanx for sharing.
