Zscapes is the meanderings of Mark z, a
part-time Backpacker, Photographer and Adventurer.
My life is a collage of travel and
experience that has taken me across five
continents, some of it while being dragged by my
parents and some of it on my own
choice.
What I share with you on these pages is a
glimpse into some of those travels and the
memories that go along with these adventures.
The pictures I provide are all from my
personal collection. I am not a professional
by any stretch of the imagination, but I do take
pride in my photos and hope that you will respect
the eye of the artist and not whisk these away for
your personal use without my permission. If you like what you see, I
can reproduce most of these memories for a very
reasonable cost. If you want to use them for
a personal pursuit, such as a PC Wallpaper, then
all I ask is that you contact me
at
Zscapes
and you will find
me more than accommodating.
This site will be under constant construction
as I strive to improve and enhance the features.
You will find useful information and history
about the places I visit and return to. Check
back when you can and thank you for
visiting.
I would also like to acknowledge the
following sources for the information contained
within these pages.

Wilderness Press
Kalon Kelly - SIERRA NORTH
Ronald M. Lanner- CONIFERS
