Was up very early today, and it looked to be a crisp, clear and almost
Fall like morning. Jumped in the truck and drove to a spot about a mile
(as the crow flies) from home so's I could catch the Sun peeking over
the North Cascades.
Stopped first at a spot locally known as "Devil's Elbow", which is about
an 80º bend in the river. It's a special place for me, as many years back,
at their request, we scattered my parents ashes in the swirling waters there.
It is honestly one of the most peaceful, beautiful places there is.
Shots are upriver, and downriver:
On my way back home, I pulled off the road just short of turning on the road to
my place. I live in the timber, so it's not possible to get a decent shot of the
mountains from home.
Here's Mount Baker with the first rays of sunshine falling on it's eastern slopes.
It's roughly 10,800' at the top, and the snow never leaves. First shot was taken
at 105mm
This pic was taken at 28mm
This last pic is looking West, and yes, I live way out in the country and love it.
The road you see there is always this busy, but there are occasional Elk herds
that cross and interrupt the traffic.
