A view from our local ski mountain, 5,889 feet up. To think in a few months from now this picnic table will be under several feet of snow!

I'm assuming there's a road that allowed someone to haul that table up there? 7400+ feet above sea level-Harney Peak, a popular hiking destination in the Black Hills of South Dakota, has a stone tower/shelter at the trail end. The materials for its construction, in 1939, would most likely have been hauled the 3 miles from the nearest road by mules. What you have here must be quite a magnificent view for the picnicker lucky enough to lunch here. That would be... ummm... you! Nice shot, Janelle.

Dont say a few months! I dont want Summer to go quite yet!! This looks to be a very scenic view and it would be very nice to sit at that picnic table eat a little lunch and take in the sights. Great shot!

It sounds like getting there was no picnic Janelle. A fine vista for sure.

And you'll be eating chocolate snowballs in front of a roaring log fire...chocolate snowballs are a soft fondant filling covered in chocolate and sprinkled with shredded coconut..Yummy

Before the snow starts a flyin', let's have us a cookout. You bring the steaks and taters, I'll bring the grill and a keg a Bud Light. LOL. Beautiful shot.

I'll bring the wine and some goodies as well... This looks like a special place, Janelle. I like your composition: the 'alpine' meadow and the fir trees, and especially the picnic table... It reminds me of going to the top of Cannon Mt. in New Hampshire... I was nine years old and loved every minute of it!

I would say: in perfect silence to hear the Voice of God who clearly speaks inside out heart.
