Snow on the San Francisco Peaks

A telephoto view of the peaks, compressed against the forest below - a long lens flattens thirty-odd miles enough to make the mountain feel like it stands right behind the trees. Humphreys Peak, the highest point of the group, is the highest ground in Arizona, and its summit is the only alpine tundra in the state, a few hundred acres of it, with a plant found nowhere else on earth: the San Francisco Peaks groundsel.

Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
