That was actually taken with my phone! The lighting was weird and I think that it messed with the camera auto settings.

It was late afternoon and I had just completed my hike. I was thinking that elk should be up and moving in that area but hadn't seen any until I rounded a bend and there they were. The other side of the ridge has active logging.
