Walking in the White Mountains

tag

Instead of showing just empty landscapes (which is what these mountains essentially consist of) I thought that presenting some photos of people walking in them might help the viewers to picture themselves there.

The photos were taken over the last 12 years or so (from late 1990's) and span film as well as four generations of digital cameras so the quality is quite variable.

Clicking on the photos will open a large picture in a new window
