Guardians

Guardians

Two trees, lifelong companions, have fallen into one another’s arms in a touching embrace, holding one another upright for unimaginable centuries to come. They were companions in life and remain so in death.

Great shot!!

In a way, it looks more like a painting than a photo.

Re: Great shot!!

Thanks, Bill

I've planning on that one for a very long time. The snow could not have been have been better timed, although my freezing hands might have begged to differ!

Cheers,

Greg

Re: Ammmazing!!!

Thank you, Igor
The composition made the entire trip a success all in itself, a most climatic ending to an amazing adventure! Standing before the scene, my tripod on a spot I had earlier marked with a cairn, I experienced incredible elation! It was a truly rare encounter.

Re: Where is this

Mitre Basin, the first of two background peaks to the right of the trees is the Miter. Back during more foolhardy days, I climbed and fell from the Miter damn near killing myself!
