So yesterdays trip out didn’t go as expected, I hit dense clouds at 11,000ft (hint: don’t wander too far from your tent looking fire wood in the clouds, can’t see a damn thing!) and the sunrise over Bear Track lake was obscured by clouds this morning. Got a couple of interesting shots going up though, these bristlecone pines can live over 1,600 years, for a comparison, some these trees were saplings at the end of the Roman empire, pretty neat eh?

I love the contrast between the sharpness of the tree and the fog in the background. Simply beautiful!

Beautiful shot, Will! I love the fog.
Nice one
that's one old tree – and one great photo!
Sweet!
This is not only composed well, the exposure couldn't possibly be better. This one is a great one man!
You've found an excellent specimen with character for this tree portrait and it looks especially good in the mist. The light is very nice too – a sort of an atmospheric glow.
Love the fog. There's always a feeling of mystery with fog/mist.
Wonderful atmosphere with this fog.
Love the atmosphere this foggy shot gives. Great composition.
What a beautiful old tree. The fog makes it all the more extraordinary.
