Photo @materas // Western Larch trees in autumn color, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, central Cascades, Washington. The Larch is a deciduous conifer that grows in the mountains of the western United States and Canada. The surprisingly soft needles turn golden yellow and fall off in autumn. I love these trees as they glow when back-lit by the sun. Follow me @materas for more images like this from Washington and around the world. #larch #autumn #wilderness
