Thanks y'all for the nice comments!! I never thought of submitting a photo to "drive anyone crazy" hee hee.

On my drive to downtown Aspen (first visit) I stopped by this wonderful aspen grove where the road was very high compared to the tree base. To me, it was a perfect eye level and gave me a unique perspective.

Congratulations, ChristophH, on achieving second place in this interesting challenge. This is a wonderful photo, with lots of tedious detail which would drive the Jigsaw Puzzlers crazy! Ruth :-)
