Love that shot.
Excellent composition.
Now I'm imagining the added depth if shot with a chrome, even a 645 size.
*sigh*

Very nice pic!

Yeah, Webster-Jackson is a mess. Unfortunately quite a few of the trails up the 
4000 footers are suffering from horrid weather, increasing use, and a lack of 
maintenance.

I finished my 4000 footers about 35 years ago (the summer before our daughter 
was born), with Osceola as my last summit. Our daughter has been chipping away 
at her 4K footers, so I’ve been up many of them again.

I can heartily recommend the Webster-Jackson Trail... as one to avoid.
We were just trying to get to the top of Mount Jackson (Lisa wants to
do all 48 of the over-4000-foot summits in NH) and this trail is the
worst either one of us has ever hiked. Continuously steep but also
wet, muddy, eroded and strewn with rocks and tree roots virtually
every step of the way. You have to continually watch every foot
placement to avoid injury. Miserable. Got a few good photos, though.

Lovely colors, patterns and composition!

Did you get any waterfalls for the July PUG?

I hiked up there in my youth, particularly when I was in college and when I
returned for the first couple of class reunions.  Dartmouth owns a major
portion of the Appalachian Trail in HN, and the trail passes right through
the campus.  If you are hiking the trail, you are entitled to a free lunch
at the Hanover Inn.  But that is quite a bit south of where you were.

These days, I restrict my enjoyment of the White Mountains to
the Kancamagus Scenic Byway.

I like the low-key greens and subtle detail.

PSEO: From hiking in New Hampshire

2019-06-29 Thread Postmaster
Just returned from a few days hiking in the White Mountains. Spent
pretty much all the time there hiking, and on some damned tough trails
at that, so I didn't do as much photography as I'd liked. Got some of
the usual mountain streams and landscapes and such. Not bad but
nothing outstanding. Then I got this: A patch of Clinton's Lily
growing amongst some ferns. The buds of the lily were several inches
above the fern (and the leaves of the lily) so I stacked two images
focused at different points. I'm well pleased with the result:
