Couple more from Bear Rocks

[Dave Johnston]

Here are a couple more from the Bear Rocks area on Monday.

I wasn't sure I wanted to shoot this at midmorning, but some thin clouds passed and muted the harsh sunlight and produced a usable background sky. I intend to go back and shoot this at sunrise. Mountain Ash is common in this area and produces briliant red berries in the fall. It is usually more of an accent to a bigger scene, but this is a case where it was the center of attention!

I had high hopes for the sunset but it was a dud. But as I turned to leave I noticed the moon rising over this peerfect combination of sandstone, blueberry and weathered spruce.

Comments and suggestions welcome!

Beautiful pair.

The first one almost looks like X-mas ornaments on the mountain ash. I do like the comp in the second image - the blueberries and the rock outcrops is a really nice combination.

 

[Amy Nelson]

Very beautiful images!

 

[Dave Johnston]

Thanks, Ben, Alan and Amy. Headed back up there fore an overnight.

Nice pair Dave. Leaning towards the second one as my favorite of the two.

Both of these are really sweet Dave! The first one is my favorite, that cloud really makes it look so delicate.
