On Gaudineer Knob (Picture and Setting, #6)

Gaudineer Scenic Area, (Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks) West Virginia

Exploring the northeast corner of West Virginia back in 2000, where I learned there are quite unusual environments on surviving mountaintops that haven't been lumbered, mined, or blown up. Some are high enough in altitude that they support an ecosystem that matches those several hundred miles to the north, looking very much like some of the forests you encounter in New England. The reference snap isn't from the horizontal shot I liked best from the session, but from a vertical picture centered on another tree not far away. It still serves to identify the shots. The state scenic area information sign fills in some more of the details.

Remenent? don't they have spell check in West Virginia? Absolutely lovely black and white shoe.

I guess you can never have too many syllables.

BTW, this comment again went directly into the blogger list without appearing in my email. I need to see if they have an explanation for why this has been happening recently.

Comments have not been appearing in my email for quite some time! So . . .

One wonders if you went back to this site with one of the recent m43 cameras, used a tripod etc., latest Epson printer, how close you could come to the earlier print . . .

Mike, this comment got lost in space as well. The answer is that you can come remarkably close. In fact the differences are in the subtle things like the most delicate tonal separations, not in any obvious sore-thumb sort of way.
