Observation Tower Views Through Seasons, 2014-2020, by John Linn

I often visit this refuge with a camera, and see the view from the observation tower as it changes during the year. This gallery collects selected images from the same vantage point proceeding through several years' worth of seasons. Click on individual images to enlarge and navigate. Additionally and/or alternatively, please feel invited to view an animated timelapse (101MB .gif) or animated WebP timelapse (71MB) of tower views spanning five years, from 2015-2019.

I've suspended collecting new photos as of mid-March 2020, to reduce shared use of the observation tower's handrails during the COVID-19 pandemic.
