A scene of the Grand Teton mountain range on a very stormy afternoon was incredible enough on its own. However, as I searched for multiple angles of the views available to me, I wandered behind the gnarled remains of a dead tree, and its branches. The Grand Teton peak, itself was perfectly framed by those branches at the same time as its neighboring mountain peaks were also beaing touched by them. I paused & set up for what I felt like was the best setting to go for. Enjoy.

A landscape from inside of Arizona's Sunset Crater Wilderness Area. It's entirely covered by cinders, lava flows & cinder cone volcanoes. These volcanoes last erupted around 1500 to 2K years ago. There are numerous cindercones of a variety of sizes; the landscape is very rugged & harsh. The beauty is elevated by a variety of hardy pine trees, brush and grasses. This landscape photograph shows us a large cindercone centered under a very blue sky. It's surrounded by pines & other flora beginning to creep upwards on its slopes. In the foreground are pines, shrubs & grasses with a centered and slight pathway of black, flattened cinders. Again, another cindercone in Arizona's Sunset Crater Wilderness Area. On this example of the type of black volcano there actually quite a few hardy pines upon one slope of it with but only a few on the other. This illustrates the gradual nature of plantlife returning to such a recent volcanic area. About 1500 to 2K years ago it was active. In the foreground a healthy pine tree to the left with a tall, scraggly dead one centered upon the volcano's peak. On the right side leading into the center of the photograph's composition are smaller pines close to the blackened ground covered with cinders. There's other hardy shrubs & grasses all around the smaller pine trees.
