Everywhere in the park pine trees integrated with the harsh landscape, many of them clinging tenuously to life on the cliffs.

| The roots of this lone pine made a stark silhouette at dawn as they clung precariously to the edge of the cliff. To emphasize the shape of the roots I chose a ground-level angle and put them against the lighter part of the sky. |

| Pines crowded between the canyon walls along the Navaho Trail rise towards the light. |
 |
| I liked the starkness of this scene of craggy trees and their shadows integrating with the equally rough textured background. |

| A 200mm focal length captured this distant landscape and compressed the scene into a tableau. |

| This pine atop a high cliff over-looking the canyon, and the morning clouds echoed the shape of the rocky terrain. Shot with a Sigma 12-24mm zoom set to a 12mm focal length on a Nikon D800. |
