Summer Storm in the Patriarch Grove
A summer trip to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains became a chance to experience some of the harsh weather that gave these legendary trees their unique weather-worn look. The monsoon storm provided a countless supply of thunderclouds which created a dramatic sky, marble-sized hail, and a trip not soon forgotten.

Bristlecone Trunk
Amazing detail and texture in this ancient tree. The bristlecone trees in White Mountain California are oldest known trees in the world. The oldest being the Methuselah tree which is over 4,800 years old.

Bristlecone Log Detail
The delicate remnant of a bristlecone trunk now fallen and being worn down by the weather. One of the things I find so facinating is the contrast of colors you find in them. The reds and oranges juxtaposed by the blues make these trees really pop out and make you take notice.

Bristlecone Pine, Shulman Grove
With this image I am doing some experimenting using some photo collage techniques. The twisted and contorted nature of the bristle cone pine trees seemed like great subjects to experiment with.
