Broken
Top
This image is a case of plans changing mid adventure.
A friend, “Old Mike” and I set out
in late August for an overnight backpacking
trip high into one of Broken Top’s craters.
My intention was to photograph Broken Top’s
stark rocky walls at first light in order to
add an extreme alpine image to my portfolio.
Instead I was enchanted by this wildflower meadow
in full bloom at over 8,000 feet of elevation
at the end of August. I did get my sunrise shot,
but I was more smitten with this unexpectedly
lush meadow backed by Broken Top’s colorful
striations with an unnamed moraine lake in the
mid ground. I hope you enjoy my pleasant surprise!
