As I look at these images, I realize just how much I appreciate the simple scenes of the White Mountain National Forest. Even though both locations are only minutes off the beaten path, they represent nature in its grandest form. No sign of human impact anywhere, mankind is completely absent. Many nature lovers would consider this to be a perfect setting.
The next time you come find a scene that appears to be undisturbed by mankind take some time to appreciate it. It may look much different on your next visit. Do not forget to photograph it!

Happy image making..
