STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
Soft light, no
wind and
Lewis monkeyflower at the peak of bloom. The Paradise area offers
some of the best wildflower meadows in the Cascade Range. Soft light from
an overcast sky is the perfect light for this type of "intimate
landscape" - a term photographers frequently use for landscape images
that do not include the sky. Direct sunlight would have been too harsh and
destroyed the softness of this scene. This area, at about 6000 feet
elevation, is only about 1/3 mile from the edge of a glacier and is snow-covered most years from November until mid-July.
