Talking Pictures

Survival

Staff  |  Nov 7, 2011  |  First Published: Sep 1, 2011

While hiking an overlook at Capitol Reef National Park in Utah I came across this wonderful juniper tree as a storm was approaching. The tree’s gracefully gnarled and twisted bark tells a story of survival. The tree’s very existence is the result of surviving the storms that sweep across the ridge helping to form and shape it.

Technical Info: Photo taken with a Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 18-200mm lens. A Gitzo tripod with a Really Right Stuff ball head was also used. Exposure at ISO 200 was f/11 at 1⁄50 sec.
