    Default The dreaded "hand of man"

    So I thought: might as well get some exercise and do a little hike. The weather was so beautiful, every man and his dog were out in nature hiking, so the fist parking lot that was not overcrowded was the trail to the "Black Prince"; did this thing years back, when all I carried up any mountain was my pride and nothing else. Times have changed, pride stayed in the car and the freaking heavy backpack was now what I carried. I remembered a lake up on the end of the trail .... when I got there, this is what was left of it. Wondered if I should use this image for the "landscape" competition of out photo club, but there is evidence of the "hand of man" in this picture .. see it?

    Exactly, and a wonderful job at presenting this Matt.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
