Description

Life on high altitudes is hard. This tree has been bent by paramount westwinds and it's incredible to see how resilient trees can be in these harsh conditions. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 70 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

It isn't going down. Tough roots and tender shoots take it through the wintry blasts. I'll bet the buds are already forming.
