i believe there are no footprints because the rock has been pushed along by the wind to it's current location. it is a rare phenomenon that also sometimes happens to rocks on top of frozen lakes.

The picture above is not identical to the one that appeared on the cover of Bike Mag. I've just been playing in PS a bit. I suspect they were taken at almost exactly the same moment given the similarities in the wrinkles of the bikers clothing. But I noticed the rear wheel is in a noticibly different position. I used PS to superimpose the outline of one on the other and they do not match up, probably represting a split second in time. I also drew a vertical line straight down from the axle of the front wheel in both pictures. I suspect that Ian Hylands was standing just to the right of Kris DroBan when they shot their pictures. (All this assumes niether photo was significantly altered). Fascinating, and thanks Kris for sharing.

Thanks Bob. Yeah I was thinking it did look like Skyline Ridge. I wanted to check it out for skiing but it turns out I've already been there :-)

Can you tell us exactly where in WA state that is (what mtn or nearest geographic feature)? I'd like to go there!

i took this shot because it looked like the birds were talking. i

cropped it but used very little PS. i am aiming for something that

looks almost like a simplistic painting or wood block print, but

isn't. it seems too dark but i am unsure how to fix that. tell me

wht you think. thanks.

Outstanding.

Really captures the feeling of mass. Nice framing too.

It was taken on top of Whitechuck Mt. in Washington. The thing in the lower right is a climber's helmet (you can't see the climber because of the light).
