I havn't been able to hike the last few days so I thought I'd have some fun editing some pictures I took of Mt. Ritter and Banner Peak last year. When I first saw Banner Peak on the JMT last August I thought, "This looks just like an Ansel Adams photograph!" A winter storm happened to be rolling in which brought some dark, ominous clouds. Here's a digital tribute to the master!
