If you look out my backyard, you see a neighborhood with houses and mountains in the background. But, here is a look at some of the mountains close by.
This is about 2 miles from my house. Taken this fall.
This one is in the same range, but different canyon. This was taken spring of '10.
This one is on the other side of the valley. If you look through the canyon in the background, you see a distant peak. That peak is right in front of my small city. In fact, it is close to the white peak, same range, that is in the picture above with the cows. This spot is about 20 miles from my house. This is also taken spring of '10
Here I am in the same range, but different canyon. I am looking at the highest peak in my county, 11,000 ft or so.
This is the same canyon, but I am looking toward the valley with the city that I live in. You can see the city, if you know where to look. In other words, I can see my house from here (with magnification
).
