Evergreen Mountain Lookout

I'm going to interrupt the posts from my Blue Mountains trip to share some images from a more recent adventure: on Friday night, I took a late afternoon hike to the Evergreen Mountain Lookout, north of Highway 2. It's a steep and narrow trail but the views are impressive, particularly closer to the summit, where the views increasingly consist of wilderness rather than hillsides that have been logged at some point. Here are my three best compositions, all at narrow apertures for a wide depth of field.
