This picture happened on my second visit to this amazing spot, seven years after the first visit.  This image is in the Recent Additions gallery as of May, 2025 because of a recent major overhaul, finally giving it what it needed to reach its potential.

See also: Maples and birches, White Mountains, New Hampshire 1985, and Maples and birches #2, White Mountains, New Hampshire 1985, two other high points from one of the mornings here, from my first time visiting this place, elsewhere in this gallery.  You can also use the "Find Images" feature and simply enter Maples and Birches and you'll get all three of them and no others for convenient comparison.
