Fall is my favorite
season for photography. I wish it lasted longer and I could be in several
places at once - there's just so much to capture. This was a gorgeous
mid-October day in the southern Washington Cascades. Within another week
most of the color from huckleberry shrubs would be gone. I was hiking east
of the Paradise area hoping to capture a grand scenic including some color
with the mountain. Clouds streamed over Rainier's summit most of the
afternoon sometimes blocking the sun and flattening the entire scene. By
late afternoon conditions became perfect with nice afternoon sidelight on
the mountain and puffy clouds above. A polarizing filter which darkened
the sky helped to visually separate sky from clouds. A horizontal version
of this image appeared in a major 2004 National Parks calendar.
