Wanted~Dead or Alive

There are so many different, unique, and fascinating trees to photograph in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. Of course, everyone wants to get a shot of the gnarly, old, dead tree at the Schulman Grove and rightly so. It's easy to get to and can be singled out for all kinds of great compositions with or without the stars. Yes, I also have a shot of it. All of these ancient trees have their own character, dead or alive, and it's worth a bit of exploration if you want a shot to call your own. This one was easy as it was just off the trail near the parking lot at Patriarch Grove.
