At the Top of the Notch - a photo on Flickriver

At the Top of the Notch

            I hiked up the south peak of the Notch, the steep, notched hill which Highway 173 crests in passing from Hesperia to Summit Valley, a bit of a tough climb as it is without a trail, with just a long, narrow, curving abrasion up the hillside where dirt bikers have ridden to the top.  I climbed in order to take pictures of the southern slope, covered in Spring with the yuccas called Our Lord's Candle, with their tall clusters of cream-colored flowers.  Once at the top, I was also able to enjoy a fine, clear view to northeast and southwest, as well as to enjoy these vermilion Mariposa Lilies, which I had seen in the wildflower field guide, but had never before seen in person—the flowers alone were worth the climb :-)

Camera: Pentax Spotmatic SP1000 (1973-1976, with Super-Takumar 55mm f/1.8 lens).

Film: 35mm Kodak Ektar 100 ISO Color Negative Film, developed using The Film Photography Project's C-41 Home Processing Kit, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
