Here’s another one from my summer on Mt. Rainier. Specifically, this was taken on Pinnacle Peak, though not at the actual peak, because I didn’t want to die that day. I was climbing along a rocky ridge as a bank of clouds moved in, and I decided that rather than risk falling off the peak somewhere in the fog ahead, I would just take a picture of this tree and head back down. It’s got fog, it’s got rocks, and it’s got a dead tree, which sound to me like three ingredients for a decent black and white photo.

I dug this one up because I needed something to hang in the hallway with my black and white shot of Mt. Rainier, and this one didn’t have much color in it to begin with. Of course, shocking as it is, the Walmart photo printers don’t quite give you what you want, so I’m going to have to play with it some more and try again.
