“Survivor”
In the Colorado Rockies, at 2 1/2 Miles above seal level, life's tough - but the tough survive, if only by passing the baton.

Life’s tough at 11,000 feet above sea level — and this old conifer proves it. But if you can’t hang on any longer, just sink in a root and come up again somewhere nearby — you never know, things just might be more hospitable.

Waiting for my photo processor to finish my commercial job, I decided to go up Trail Ridge Road (the world’s highest paved thouroughfare) in Rocky Mountain National Park. The road was closed at Rainbow Curve due to snowdrifts, and I walked another mile to capture this moment.

June, 1998, West of Estes Park, Colorado
