Who knows how that tree survives, clinging to the cliff like that? You have to admire its tenacity.

I’ve seen examples of this so many times in Switzerland and every time I think: how the heck does that tree grow there.

It sure doesn’t take much earth for a tree to have enough. Of course, trees like that spell doom for the cliff, as the roots eventually cause the rock to break apart. There’s probably a moral in that story somewhere….

Great shot Melinda – I love the processing and the silky clouds and the Parthenon-like rock.

Thanks, Ehpem. This landscape was stunning to the point that trying to convey it in photos seems impossible.

I think you captured some of it – but it does look like the kind of place that warrants a bunch of photos, taken in different conditions.

I know – it’s not possible to replicate the trip because it’s on private land. And also I’m not very sure about where we were, exactly. Brett was driving, so I wasn’t paying attention to where he turned and etc.

Thanks Derrick. How’d your class at Caprock Canyons go last weekend? I wanted to come up for it, but the timing didn’t work out….
