Headwater

[Laurence]

This is the highest and farthest headwater snow pond, the start of Grand Creek in the Olympic Mountains.

I liked that the stark landscape allowed for simplicity and only six basic elements of form and color.

Nice picture. I'm jealous I can't go there.

Those Yashica lenses are razor sharp! That's a really nice, almost abstract composition; I might have been tempted to crop the sky out altogether for a picture which would take some explaining...

Sure you can, Crosby! A jet to Seattle, drive a car two hours to the trailhead, and hike 9 miles up the valley, and voila! You are there!

Good point Andrew...if you get a chance and feel like it, I would invite you to download the image and crop it. This is why it is nice to have a forum - new ideas, different interpretations!
