  What a cool place. Great composition and lighting. Both images are beautiful, Ken. I think a few of us know you don't have to go off a trail to far before you lose the people. Which is fine with me. LOL.

  GEORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE KEN!!
Your northern states have such BEAUTY to photograph.
The only problem is that your winters are way too cold for me! Have a blessed day!
