Light Chasers [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

A trio of Ponderosa Pines reach for the sky from the dark confines of Wall Street, a slot canyon in Bryce Canyon National Park.

I'm always amazed at the determination displayed by trees. If you spend any time in the desert or mountains of the Southwest United States, you see trees growing - and thriving - in the most inhospitable locations. As someone from the mid-Atlantic United States, where there is so much greenery and balanced, temperate seasons, this is foreign to my experience, and I am consistently awed by the tenacity displayed in nature.

Hiking along the Navajo Loop just after sunrise on a late Spring morning, the Wall Street Canyon was pretty dark, but one look up revealed this scene where the organisms living here had learned to seek out the light on their own.

Congrats on Explore!
