Here are some of the trees I collected this summer along with some location shots. Very late spring and summer, as in most the North West. It's still possible to collect now in the high alpine. These are from the Golden BC area in the high alpine 2743m (9000ft.) I frequently snowmobile this area, it had about +10m (32ft) of snow pack this winter. The mountains and scenery in this area are spectacular. This place is pure Yamadori porn!
This first shot is a scenery shot to get some perspective, all the trees in the foreground are gnarly stunted growth trees. The second shot is for scale with my pack, ALL the trees except for the obvious taller ones in the background have been beaten down hard by snow pack and massive avalanches. Third shot is another angle to try and show what a crushed mess of trees it is, again trees in the foreground are only a few feet high. Not really the best scenery shots as I'm really trying to show the trees.
