Vertical

A few more cliff photos along the eastern shore of Buttle Lake. Because I just can't resist a good pile of rock.

View from the far side of the road along the shore.

There's the road at the bottom.

A large white section.

The lake is long and narrow and makes a good wind tunnel. I noticed moss hanging sideways on tall trunks facing the shore, and here, the trees seem to huddle towards the cliff, as if for shelter.

That same white patch, with a square-cut block, tipped over. What dances went on in these rocks over the millennia?

Somewhat tamer rock face, and a sharp curve with no visibility. Typical for this road.

Small plants shelter in the shadier spots. Here, pearly everlasting, maidenhair ferns, willow, grass,and a couple of others I can't identify from the photo. And moss, of course.

Aquí presento unas pocas fotos más de los precipicios al lado del lago Buttle. Porque no puedo resistir un gran montón de piedra.

En la tercera foto se puede notar que los árboles se inclinan hacia la roca, como si buscaran protección. El lago es largo y angosto, y forma un túnel de viento. Noté en otros árboles que el musgo cuelga casi horizontalmente.

La penúltima foto muestra un precipicio menos llamativo, y una vuelta en el camino sin visibilidad, típica de esta carretera.

En la última foto, se ven plantas chicas que se refugian en una grieta, fuera del calor del dia.

  1. What a stunning place this is and the photographs are amazing ! It would make me a bit nervous travelling these roads .. but awesome all the same.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
