You are a great photographer! I haven’t finished looking at all of your shots, but I am very
impressed so far. Thank you for sharing them on your site here.

I hear you Wade!

I was up there right before sunset and meet a nice young girl and her dad. They had hiked up the north side and thought they had time to hike down to the Phoenician, back to the top, then back to there car! They would have been there half the night. I guess that is what happens when such a popular trail is in the middle of such a large city.

Thanks,

Ron

I just returned from Scottsdale today. I hiked Pinnacle Pk. once and Camelback twice. Camelback was great however I was shocked to see kids (girls between 6-8 yrs old) on the summit with their soccer moms. I told the girls how impressed I was but in my head I was thinking “What the hell is your Mother thinking”? I am 30, in excellent physical shape, a former collegiate wrestler with very good balance and strength, and I found it challenging. A slip here or there from one of these kids in the wrong spot could’ve killed them. I’m all for challenging our children, but never putting them in harms way unnecessarily. That mountain will still be there when they’re 16!

My son and I just spent 45 minute looking at your beautiful photographs on your website. He especially loved the ones taken at Yellowstone. What talent you have. If we are ever in the market for a great wildlife photo we will know where to go! Thank you for the opportunity to view them.

Really great shot, I too like the contrast between the shadow and the last light lighting the ridge. The green further enhanced the contrast to the rocky ridge.

Thanks guys!

You know Richard, that is Janine. I got a little steep for her, so she was heading back down. Since I’m looking down, the black is the shadow side of the mountain – I kinda liked the contrast.

Thanks,

Ron

That peak looks a bit more than tricky. Great light Ron – your pictures tell a great story of this place.
