Description
"May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay forever young"
- Bob Dylan
Taken on a hike at Larch Mountain above the Columbia River Gorge this past weekend. Oddly, there are no larch trees on Larch Mountain, though there are some beautiful hemlocks & firs that are hundreds of years old...

Terrific! How strange about the larches.
That is so stunning! It almost seems to be on fire. Very beautiful capture.
Very nice capture
Fabulous capture, love it!
Wow...amazing photo....
An illumined ladder of golds and blasting whites, and a criss cross of branches that make this a piece of stained glass, where the branches are the lead in between. The reds in the 'frame', and in the trunks left-of-center, are a warm contrast to those blasting yellows and golds. You're on a very intense roll these days, which is a lot considering the intense roll you're on, most days! Zoomed, this is a fairy tale image. Beautiful and fiery. (I always think, when I hear "larch," of that Monty Python bit of a slide that keeps interrupting the show: It's a tree and a droning voice that says, "Number 2: The Larch. The Larch. Number 2---the Larch..." They've ruined that tree for me forever.)
Excellent back lighting for this magnificent photo!
