I spent a couple weekends photographing the annual fall colors of the aspens in the eastern Sierra Nevada. This photograph was made among the trees of the extensive groves near the top of Monitor Pass.

I made this photograph on a recent two-week backpack trip through an area near Mt. Whitney. Skyblue Lake sits below Crabtree Pass, a cross-country route we crossed later on this day. I originally imagined this as a color image, but was not happy with the result after the trip. I returned to the photo recently and after working on it more have decided that I like it as a black and white photograph.
