About Zscapes

HomeAboutMountainsGlobalPhotoGalleriesPOV

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 frequent.   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.

Ben Schifrin - EMIGRANT WILDERNESS by Wilderness Press
Kalon Kelly - SIERRA NORTH
Ronald M. Lanner- CONIFERS of CALIFORNIA
Peter Browning- PLACE NAMES of the SIERRA NEVADA
