"BRANCHING OUT" - Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado - A Bull Elk feeding along a frozen lake in spring.
NATURE'S SCULPTURE" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - A spruce tree sculpted by the wind near the summit of Algonquin. Mount Marcy and Colden are in the distance.
"CLOUDSPLITTER" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - A panoramic vista of Mt. Marcy from the trail to Mt. Colden.
"IROQUOIS" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - Iroquois seen from Boundary Peak.
"ALPINE GLORY" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - A solar halo appears over the frozen landscape just below Algonquin's summit.
"THE COLONY" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - Snowy krummholtz formations near the summit of Algonquin Peak. Krummholz or Krummholtz comes from the German word meaning crooked or twisted wood. These trees are able to withstand the continual exposure to the fierce, freezing winds, but they do pay a price for their tenacity to survive. As a result growth becomes stunted and the trees become twisted and deformed.
"THE HARE'S LAIR" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - Snowshoe Hare tracks leading across the snowy landscape near the summit of Gothics Peak.
"FROZEN WONDERS" - High Peaks Wilderness, Adirondack State Park, NY - Ice encased trees and wind sculpted snow near the treeline on Mount Marcy, New York's highest peak.
"CELESTIAL RAIN" - Thurman, Adirondack State Park, NY - A Quadrantid Meteor streaking through the night sky over the Hudson River. The ghostly effect of the water comes from a combination of fog and ice flowing downriver during the long exposure. After finding this composition I just sat on the rocks and gazed up at the night sky in awe. At times the sky seemed to be raining stars. The sky put on such a display I stayed and watched it for four hours. I counted nearly 60 meteors during that time, including this one shooting through the Milky Way Galaxy. I am confident that number would have been much higher but I was to busy searching for different compositions and making exposures to watch the sky the entire time. The Quadrantid Meteor Shower was the first meteor shower of the new year (2012), and what a way to celebrate it!
