Mike Hansen Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hi everybody,Adam/Selene and I got around to discussing hiking/backpacking on another thread, and upon looking back at my hiking photos from last summer I came up with these as some of my favorites. Posted them as a new topic so that anybody else who would enjoy them can see 'em too!Red Pines Lake:The lake appears very turquoise when the wind hits it just right:Grandeur Peak (at the top):Big Cottonwood Creek:Mount Timpanogos (the best hike in Utah), right before we got stuck in the rain on the descent:At the saddle (not quite the summit) looking out to Utah Lake. At times those clouds moved up the side of the mountain incredibly quickly:Timpanogos hike #2. The sky was a bit clearer:Same hike, looking at the peak we're about to summit (taken by friend):In the 'shed' at the top of Timpanogos. Yes, those are mountain ranges you're looking down upon!:Looking in the other direction:Fun stuff!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmler Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thank you for sharing these...you take a very good photo. I've not been hiking for years but nothing bets the fresh air and a tot of rum for when you are flagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hansen Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks, guys. I take a lot of pictures (usually about 15-20 per hour, depending upon the state of the terrain). These are the "two standard deviations above average" photos .Yes, hikers get the best nature pics. First rule of photography: BE there.TonyDefinitely. My mom got a "Best of Utah" Calendar for Christmas. Three of the pictures are almost exactly the same as several photos I got last summer (but in different seasons).Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
