Post Your Hiking Photos - Any Format

Came across this old print my sister took of me in the early '70s on a week backpack trip. Just above White Pass in the North Cascades -- Glacier Peak in the background. Back in the day when I always wore a pair of Lederhosen (without the suspenders) backpacking.

There is something nice, perhaps just nostalgia, about a snapshot, faded from display...

PS -- this is probably a commercial print from a slide -- my sister only used slide film back then. I did not alter the color, contrast, or brightness of the print in the scan (office printer/scanner)...pretty close to the original.

Documentary cell phone image...shot yesterday morning a bit after sunrise. This is a boneyard of trees on the southern tip of Hunting Island in South Carolina. It was high tide and the furthest trees were way, way out in the water. Shot a bit of 4x5 before the sun got too high, hopefully I can develop them tonight. It was a really crazy area as the beach was just non-existent, with the water coming up and pounding on just loosely-packed dirt and tree roots - a much "wilder" landscape than the relatively tame boneyard beach on Jekyll Island in GA.

Untitled Torre del Paine National Park, Chile.

This was taken from somewhere in the park while on a week long backpacking trip. There's a small fragment of a cloud on the right, common at that latitude, which I didn't spot out.
P67II.

Tuco, love it. I've done a touch of fire-lookout...but certainly not with that view! And alas the tower was condemned, so I had to hunker down in the truck during the lightning and could not use the fire-finder to call in smokes. Still cool, though -- especially when a tree was struck on the mountainside below...an easy fire to locate and call in.

Great, Thomas! That's a fun set of peaks to work around!

Thanks. Yeah it has a nice view. A couple more from the Tolmie Peak hike.

Nordemskjold Lake - Torre del Payne National Park, Chile.

Trail view close to the beginning of hiking the "W" hike. Note the hiker in red on the trail in the immediate foreground. This is an image that gets better the larger it is. P67II.
