BEYOND HUMAN SCALE

AWESOME
              The Sierra is a profound face of this planet.
     An October system brews over Tioga Pass.
    The range creates or builds a unique whether and climate. It breeds a bio/botanical environment in a rugged and wild beauty.
 Morning sun lights up a mountain wall in the June Lake region.
     Nature is a bold and massive exclamation, offering views that reboot the mind.


   


 Alpine lakes tuck between peaks at 7,500-10,500 altitude.
     These mountains can be spiritual and soul stirring. More exquisite than imagination while defining a perspective. The frailty of human strength goes up as an ablution.

   They celebrate a purity as they rise toward the heavens. Ponder the imagination that went into creating these scenes.




Shadows, morning sun and moonlight.
     Mountains have a power on me. As kids we made trips to Colorado to spend time with my father's cousin who was homesteading above Boulder.  The Rockies took hold of something in my heart.  Dad took us to or through the Great Smokies a few times and again the mountains were magnetic. 
         We count as a blessing that we live so near the Sierra
and close to California Mountain Ranges.
      Looking at these mountains dwarf all the hype, hub-bub and hoopla of our human drama of the campaign. Those granite spires were here long before us and they will remain.
      See you down the trail.
