The Path Outside

[JimFox]

I saw Alan's The Path Inside https://focalworld.com/threads/the-path-inside.13907/ and thought I can do a little twist on it, my apologies Alan.

This is from my backpacking trip up to Ice Lake Basin in SW Colorado a month ago. This is on the trail to Island Lake. Once I hit about 12,000 feet the wildflowers just turned crazy. This area is actually closer to 13,000 feet then 12,000. I am photographing this while still wearing my backpack, I should have probably taken it off for a bit, but I tend to forget that, not sure why as I am sure my back and shoulders would appreciate a break from time to time.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

The path is a nice lead in to the image Jim. Nice clouds too.

Nice trail and with that alpine look you get above timberline

Nice path and even better flowers along the way. The thread title works fine for me

Great flowers & clouds, Jim.
Sometimes packs feel heavier putting them back on after they've been off for a little bit.

Thanks so much Jameel. I do like paths!

Thanks! This may have been the most colorful area around there.

Great lead in lines and beautiful scene. Not to second guess you because your very talented, but do you shoot down low? It sometimes takes the impact from a scene but gives the forground a higher impact. I try to shoot from all levels so I can compare on the monitor. Just my two scents from the peanut gallery.
