GRAYBEARD PANO

Colorado. High in the Colorado Rockies groves and patches of the legendary Bristlecone pines can be found just at the edge of timberline. This venerable old specimen may be a thousand years old: it's difficult to say without performing a damaging bore to count the growth rings. This one, from Mt. Goliath, is rooted at more than 11,600 feet elevation. Rendering the image as a monochrome reduces the content to lines, textures, light-dark, and shapes. This one is from my Box Mount Series, prepared without matting, glass or frame, in a modern presentation that works in many settings. Overall width available up to 34-inches, but smaller sizes are available. Click the preview image for a full-screen view. nd
