Description
...and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
This is a centuries old riddle that can be answered in many ways, none of which I believe can ever be definitive or final. This photo was taken on a hike in Glacier National Park.
For those with a philosophical bent, there is some interesting reading at: Wikipedia link.
And for those with a comical bent, here are some alternate parodies from that same article:
"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, where are they?"
"If a tree falls in a forest and no-one sees it, what color is the tree?"
"If a tree falls in the forest, and hits a mime, does anyone care?"
Please zoom.

Beautiful shot! I really like the variety of greens in this photo.

It makes a brilliant habitat. We flatter ourselves that we matter to wild nature, when all we do is destroy it with diesel fumes.
