Stairway to heaven

Chosen Pick of the Month!

One judge said, "It really gives the viewer a sense of the steep, rugged terrain. And it's a good title!" Another judge said he liked the "perspective distortion."

The photographer wrote: "This photo was taken in the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness. This inviting photo makes you want to climb to the top (which, of course, I did). This whole area is one big playground of rock steps, boulders, grass and flowers. The access to this area is difficult, but well worth the price of admission." Taken August 2.
