2011, Day 292 - Weathered

Desolation and alpine beauty surround Broken Top, an extinct volcano nestled amongst the Three Sisters.  Even though there is snow still clinging to the slopes and it is October the weather was relatively clement but there is little to shield you from the biting winds when they pick up.  I love how it ages the scattered debris, smooths it over time and keeps the grasses dotting the valley between these volcanic slopes.
