Photographed along the California coast north of Santa Cruz on the first of March. I found a spot at the top of a coastal cliff where the birds flying along the coast came almost directly overhead.

Black and white photograph of a high altitude “ghost forest” on the John Muir Trail near Tawny Point, Sequoia National Park. These dead trees are located right at timberline in the southern Sierra Nevada at an altitude of close to 12,000′. It appears that an older forest died and that a new one is in its infancy.
