At the top, Mt. Evans

I know the image of the goat is small, but I felt it was OK to help set off the environment he was in. I do believe this guy actually posed, as he moved around the top of Mt. Evans, he would look down at me in the parking lot, hardly anyone else was there as it was early in the morning, as if to ask if the pose was OK, and then he would move a bit, and look down again. Tried a verticle comp, but to me it did not show the scene as well.

John,

Really neat picture "KING OF THE HILL". In the large picture it looks like he is shedding his coat.

Hi John, this certainly does show how large those boulders really are, without the goat as a reference one would not be able to judge. I quite like the 'lone king of the hill' feel this brings across. Interesting take.
