    Me too! I'm heading for Mount Robson on Sunday, and I've been making preparations now and then for weeks. I know my camera isn't up to speed, but I won't lack for subject material. :)

    You better get some pics! :)

    Highspeed, that first pic is stunning. I love those high altitude valleys!

    Here are a couple more I found on the harddrive.

    #1 Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp
    #2 Hot Creek hot springs area (Owen's Valley)
    #3 Mt. Rose? Carson Pass, CA

    This is about as near as rocky mountain high you can get in Houston unless you go up a sky scraper.

    This is a lake few people ever see. It's called Delta Lake and is at the base of Teton glacier. The loose rock in the background is the end moraine and the peak is the summit of Grand Teton.

    Unless her name is Rose, this one is probably best labled differently. :rolleyes: (Mt. Rose is in Nevada, north and east of Tahoe.)

    That looks like what we used to call Red Mountain, but I don't think that's its official name (if the peak even has one.)

    I think the words "hot" and "spring" come to mind with your third picture as well.

    Here are a few old ones for me... I've sadly been away from these mountains for a long time.

    I think you are right. I just remember it being called something a shade of red. I could have swore it was rose but red could be right. I'll have to ask. I trust your justment though since you grew up around there. :)

    Ichabod, those are amazing pics!

    bstark, I love glacial evidence. I have some great pics of moraines, glacial lakes, and even maroc's of glacial polished granite.

    LOL.:p

    It is all relative and a matter of perspective.

    In Capital, Karl Marx showed that great German wit by writing this about John Stuart Mill:

    "On the level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the imbecile flatness of the present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects."

    Sorry it took me so long to post anything in this thread...I wanted to post something worth while, but it's been a long time since I had a mountain trip and at that time I was shooting chromes almost exclusively and no digital. I dug up a couple decent pix I had scanned and saved on my PC though, hope you like them.....

    I think you're trolling for compliments. Reported to Moderators.

    LOL...I'm really not. I'll tell you when I think a photo is good...these are decent photos, but only what I had handy and all are crappy scans (ask someone like vtie who has an eye for this stuff).

    They're absolutely totally gorgeous!

    This thread has brought up so many outstanding pictures from lots of people and lots of places. Being more or less tied to my computer at work right now, it is so enjoyable to see all these mountain pictures from all thes places.

    Let's throw in some more...

    I wish I could say "grew up" there...spent my summers (and a some time in the winter as well) is really closer. Growing up was really done in the Bay Area, but there were perks to having parents whose jobs allowed them to take me and my brother to the mountains every summer.

    I'm still just amazed that there're other people here who know those places as well.

    Now I'm going to have to see if I can dig out some of my old slides and scan them. I haven't been back that way since I first aquired a digital camera and I'm afraid all my pics are of the old-fashioned type, and that they're not back in California in storage.

    Oh neat... this thread has introduced me to a cool feature (possibly new?) on PC: When you click on an image for the full-size view, there are next-prev buttons and you can see all the pics in the thread as a slideshow.

    Also, Vtie, I hate to make fun of your presentation because your pictures are very nice, but the thin line with the black border makes me think of those inspirational posters. Here are titles for your last 3 images:


    M O R N I N G
    "Without it, when would you eat breakfast?"

    P E R S E V E R A N C E
    "You thought getting to the top was hard. That frostbite will make the trip down twice as hard. Unless you only make it half way down. Then it will be exactly as hard."

    T R A N Q U I L I T Y
    "You'd have it if this waterfall weren't so deafeningly loud."

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:
    You are totally right!!! Maybe I should reconsider those borders...
    But you were wrong about the first one: it was actually evening. :p

    Yes. That same abnormal white background look that I occasionally get on PC. But this time on this page, it doesn't go away.

    I think it started when KD6HDX tried to post a picture. I still cannot see his/her picture.

    EDIT: I'm sure it has something to do with KD6HDX's picture. That's why the Warning URL has "Lake Mary" as part of it.

    Yup... looks lke KD6HDX tried to post a local file path as a URL... It happens to the best of us. ;) But this page looked normal to me after I first saw that post. Maybe the old version was cached on my work computer. Hmmm...

    [edit] oh, but I did see this the last time: when I make a new post, my avatar pic comes up with broken-image placeholder, even though it displays in my posts above. Methinks the backslashes in that local path are being treated as escape characters and following code no longer closes properly or something convoluted like that.
