Lone tree above Mills Lake, Glacier Gorge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Thanks for the advice - I'll try it with my next post

Very good picture.It´s incredible, it grows on stone. It´s a bristle cone pine,isn´t it?

cheers Klaus

Nice shot.

Greetings Dana, Thanks for visiting Mills Lake and commenting. The granite just north of the lake is rich with lone trees growing out of small cracks. They look like Bonzai trees. This looks like a stormy fall day with a skiff of snow on the rock.

Cheers,

Rich

Greetings Mustafa, Thanks for visiting this old tree and commenting. As you hike up to Mills Lake you cross over a large area of granite that was scraped over by the glacier thousands of years ago. There is very little soil here so the trees that do grow appear to spring out of the rock. This is just one of many neat old trees in this area.

Cheers,

Rich

Good capture.LIKE!!!Greetings Alexandra & Karl-Heinz

Greetings A&K, Just below Mills Lake is an area where the glaciers came through and it is flat bare rock. Her and there you can find a tree that was able to take hold and grow. Cheers, Rich
