We have a lot of snow here this year and I took this photo at nearby Lake Creek last Sunday. It is actually eight photos stitched together in Photoshop, and each of those eight photos in turn is three different exposures merged together in Photomatix. (Click on the photo for a larger view.) The full-sized photo is 7400×4800 pixels, but it is also 24 megabytes so I won’t try to post it here.

    Great image! I especially like the reddish tree trunks. Are those spruce trees?

    Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to Vickie and to you Randal!

    Beautiful photo, Randal! Happy holidays!

    “Are those spruce trees?”

    Probably ponderosa pines. Looks like the shot was taken at sunrise or sunset, adding the red tint to the normally orange-colored bark.

    Happy holidays all!

    Sweet foto. I think those are lodgepole from the small needles in bottlebrush arrangement, tight crown, and proximity to water.

    Happy holidays to all.

    Dan doesn’t really mean happy holidays to Randall, he’s just saying that because it’s expected of everyone, even hateful leftist trolls like himself.

    Happy Holidays to all

    Merry Christmas to all except our resident troll, who deserves a lump of coal across the kisser for being such a punk-ass dumbf—.

  7. metrosucks says:

    You’re the troll, actually, since you, Dan, Highwayman, and others I could mention, merely come here to take swipes at Randal. You’re not actually interested in what he has to say.

  8. thislandismyland says:

    Merry Christmas, Randal, from Vicky and I.

    THWM: That’s because, we already know that O’Toole is full of shit & that he’s Koch teabagging puppet.

    Still, even though you Randroids are a bunch of evil, crooked, hypocritical sociopathic assholes.

    Merry Christmas!

    I rest my case. Fraudman didn’t even bother denying he is a troll.

  11. C. P. Zilliacus says:

    Folks, how about peace on earth, goodwill towards all men?

    That’s what Christmas is supposed to be about (disclaimer: I am not a graduate of any school of theology).

    And I might add goodwill towards all men, even if they happen to be advocates who favor Smart Growth and even if they happen to be advocates who favor rail transit.

    Could we drop the animosity for a day or two? Plenty of time to get back to that after the holiday.

    Thanks for the explanation, Dan.

    Here in the South and East, we have the loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), which is somewhat similar in appearance, though the loblolly seems to prefer sandy soils and does not really want to be near easy sources of water.

  13. Dan says:

    No problem CPZ. The lodgepole is fascinating in that different subspecies have much different characteristics – along the Pacific coast, they are commonly called shore pine, tend to grow singly or in small groves and are quite twisted in shape (Pinus contorta ssp contorta), in Pacific mountains (Sierra and Cascades) uphill from shore they prefer moist sites and have the lodgepole shape (Pinus contorta ssp murrayana). Hereabouts in the Rockies they prefer drier sites – thus making them susceptible to drought and pine beetle attack across millions of acres – and are Pinus contorta ssp latifolia. The Intermountain West folks on this board will tell you most of our lodgepole is dead and the rest dying from mountain pine beetle. The softwood lumber wars of the 90s was due to Canada cutting all their beetle-killed lodgepole, and the American Corporations complaining that the Canucks were flooding the market. [/geeky]
