Moss

On a wet and foggy early afternoon, I came across this lush green and mossy forest scene in the Vosges. The crooked birch tree stood out to me. This was on the first full day of what would be a very wet week in this French range of medium mountains.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 8 of 19.

Yours truly pitching the tent, or more accurately shoveling snow around the base to stormproof it. The tent is a Hilleberg Kaitum 3 GT, a proper four season tent, but it does lack extended snow flaps on the fly for anchoring in deep snow. Luckily it has been enough to build a low wall of snow against it and make sure all the pole ends are well buried.

I got off of work 15 minutes ago, and am already at the camp fire. It doesn't get better.

The sunrise this morning was beautiful. Not often I'm up to see them.

My Durston all alone in the wild. I am not exactly sure whether this spot is in Norway or Finland, as the border runs somewhere around here. Luckily for us Nordic citizens it does not matter much, since we can cross the border freely unless we have something to declare, like alcohol. Usually there is a fence along the border, but it is there to keep reindeer from crossing between herding cooperative areas rather than to stop people.
