Landscape and Nature Photography from Glacier National Park, taken in August 2012.

Perseverance: Trees on Windswept Slope<br />
<br />
On the slope of Altyn Peak, in Glacier National Park,'s Many Glacier area, there is a set of dead or nearly-dead trees that caught my eye. Their branches were permanently swept by the wind, and I wondered for how many long years they had clung to that slope through wind, rain, sun, ice, and snow, stubbornly living out their lives. Their geometry was irresistible to me, so I took this shot hoping to convey the sense of gritty, stubborn, hang onto life with both-fists feeling that I got when seeing them.

$Rising sun on tree roots, near Two Medicine Lake. <br /> <br /> Sometimes beauty and wonder lie in the finer details. While waiting for the sun to come up, I saw the fine, almost fractal, branching and re-branching in the roots of a fallen tree on the shore of Two Medicine lake. I captured this almost-silhouette because I enjoyed the way the rising sun was beginning to glow golden on the abstract pattern of the finer roots.$
