Wrong canyon, right idea

I had an exploration in mind but got confused about just where the "trail" I took--more of a plunge that cattle use to get from from highway level down into a canyon--met the stream at the bottom, so I went upstream instead of down but had a beautiful hike anyway. Consulting the map again later, I saw where I had gone wrong, and saw that the canyon I was looking for does exist, but in a different location...anyway, it can wait.

Depending where I was in this canyon, it was either sunny and mild or dark and snow-covered. For these wintry images I used my DSLR; if you want to see a couple of sunny ones check out the Smartphone section (it might take me a while to get to that). The best part about it was not seeing any other human tracks except on the trail leading down the mountain. I hope you enjoy these. I tried a couple of different processing treatments, and some are in B/W, but I didn't feel like putting those in a separate section so buck up.

Not seeing any other human tracks is always a plus, Feral.

But you already knew that.

My favorite too I think. It's a beautiful canyon.

Yeah. I saw mountain lion tracks though! And I set up a trail camera in there (which only assures that the lion will never pass that way again).

Aw, thanks. As I recently told someone on this forum, the landscape has trained me.

#4 was a departure for me (I assume this is the "blue effect") in that I softened it by reducing both texture and clarity. The scene already had such a dreamy look that I decided to go with that, opposite the treatment of the similar #5. I'm glad you liked it, them. Thanks for looking.
