Snow-Buried Spruce on Galehead Mountain
Heavy snow coats Galehead's compact spruce before the view drops toward a wintry forested valley.
Rounded snow pillows cover tightly packed summit evergreens under a pale overcast sky. The camera turns outward to a broad mountainside whose trees are lightly traced in white.
Photographer’s field note
The near-monochrome spruce foreground emphasizes the depth and density of the winter snowpack.
