A Celebration of Wildflowers Pinpoints the High Country With Dots of Color!
.[
and then small wildflowers, the tiny pink and blue and yellow and white ones which seem to pop out, sun-brilliant, from black shadows. Everywhere its like this! Little pins of colored light shoot forth to me from a background of somber dark green and black. ]
~4.9 Straight Line Miles SouthSouthWest Of Rock Creek Vista Point First Roadside Rest Area, Beartooth Highway, MT. As noted the previous photo, I looked for, but did not see pink and blue flowers until after I came down to elevations below 9600 feet.
My Photos Are Opposite To The ZMM Narrator's High Altitude Sun Illumination Polemic.
.The ZMM passage above describes the sharp black shadows that result from intense brilliant sunlight in high altitude low humidity air. These are also the conditions for the Narrator's darker black-blue sky directly overhead.
.However, as mentioned earlier, my photos of the high country do not show the Narrator's high altitude sun illumination polemic. My photos were taken in opposite conditions, high humidity and dark, very cloudy skies.
.Thus, in /\ Above /\ Photo, you see no dark shadows, nor even hardly any shadow. But even with, or because of the overcast conditions, my photos still show
yellow and white ones which seem to pop out
from the watery mud with lots of somber browns in the dead grass.
