desolate and detached ...

Juniperus occidentalis (western juniper) -- a little distraction while recently visiting the twin peaks mustang gather. the land is covered with junipers, some very old and deformed. usually occurs on dry, rocky sites where there is less competition from larger species like ponderosa pine and coast Douglas-fir. In very exposed positions at high altitude, they can assume a krummholz habit, growing low to the ground even when mature with a wide trunk. see more at http://www.footeprintart.com
