Fletcher Falls, just south of Kaslo, British Columbia, Canada.

Kootenay Lake, near Kaslo, BC. The mountains are the Purcells. If you look closely, you can still see a little snow (very little) on the peaks near the center of the picture. This is much lower altitude than the peaks in Colorado. But higher latitude. Picture taken August 5.

Shot this (downsized here for web use) 6600 x 6000 pixel 3 column 1 row focus stack and stitch blended image, last Wednesday morning while on a 5 day backpacking trip into to the John Muir Wilderness in the Rock Creek basin. This is a scene from Dade Lake at ~11550 feet with Treasure Peak at frame left and Mt Starr further right of Mono Pass. No name peaks between are over 13k. This was a difficult off trail destination to reach and was camped for a night back some from the far shore. As is the case with many such alpine lakes, the period of calm allowing such bilateral mirror reflections was brief that I'd been keeping my eye on all morning while working subjects elsewhere in the area.

The above (downsized here for web use) 6000 x 4000 pixel single frame focus stack blended image was shot on July 24 during a 6 day backpack up Convict Creek. The flowery turf meadow shows mostly Pierson's paintbrush and little elephants head that I nicely visited to witness peak flowering. Also shot an impressive reflection from the tarn at frame right towards the impressive talus slope and peak opposite this direction. The peak in the background left is Mt Morrison that one sees from behind popular Convict Lake.

One of my favorites campsite’s ever, on the edge of the Wedge...

I was able to finagle a couple of Heli drops up on Little Morrison for some Ski touring a few decades ago

I couldn't agree more. It's always been a very primo spot to camp. Quite a few years ago the BLM made some upgrades to the area and it's now much more popular. Spots along the rim are more difficult to score unless one is there early. Some nice exploratory mountain bike rides can be undertaken from both the Wedge Overlook area and the road that leads to the Wedge.

I give you extra points for ID'ing the head of the Giant! Here's the whole sleeping Giant. I was to the far right around the corner,

A friend, Martin Wiesiolek, lives in Grand Junction and took these photos last night at sunset. This is the Pine Gulch Fire.

A long shot to show scale.

Zoomed in.

We were getting a lot of smoke from this fire on Monday. Although it could have been from the Grizzly Creek Fire in Glenwood Canyon as well.
