December - Glacier Lodge
I was bouncing around Big Pine looking for scenes to take pictures of. I noticed a road that seemed to go from the dry valley up into the snow. I took the road up, and up, and up. It seemed to work its way up the mountain forever. Eventually I came to the snow level. It was spring so the road was still open.
I realized we had been on this road before but in late summer. It looked so different with snow that I did not realize I had been here before until I was halfway up.
The end of the road was nothing but spectacular. Where I parked you could not get a clear view of the canyon to see the mountains. I started walking down this snow filled side road to see if I could get a better view. That is when I realized I was on the Glacier Lodge grounds. There were scattered buildings and this cute little frozen pond. The pond provided enough of a clearing that you could see over the trees to the mountains at the back of the canyon.
It was a breath-taking scene. So much so I lingered for a while after I had taken my pictures.
Well, that is it. Another year in the books (or calendar.) Telling each month’s image’s story is something new I am trying. Did it add value to the calendar? It would be great to hear what you thought.
See you in 2027!
