Relief - Sequoia National Park

View while climbing towards Black Rock Pass, Sequoia National Park. The canyon walls rising above Cliff Creak are rugged but beautiful, interspersed with rocky cliffs and groves of green. I had hoped to give a perspective of both of these traits, as well as pay homage the name of the pass I was climbing - Black Rock Pass. The title of this image - Relief - reflects both the ruggedness of the landscape (in the context of a relief map) as well as my mood at the time - I wanted relief from the relentless climb up Black Rock Pass.
