As another party comes to the summit, one of its members poses for a photograph. Here you can see him standing on a pinnacle with Peasoup Lake below. Mount Daniel, Alpine Lakes Wilderness.

alpinestateofmind > And above, in high places, when I look at the mountains, I watch as one great head among them swivels and looks over at me with a grin. Yet, as the snows sway and the rocks shake loose around me, I know the mountain beneath had turned to send a grin of his own across the valleys and rivers between. Realization is quick upon me. I know then how small we are in a place so big. Even in my 7 days among the trees and glaciers - soul filled to the brim, candle burning from both ends, I have to wonder if these mountains even noticed me?
