This was taken from Marrowstone Island, SE of Port Townsend, Washington. In the foreground is Nodule Point and the water is Puget Sound.
Taken with a Nikon 80-400mm zoom set at 400mm, f11 and 3/4 second exposure.
Mt Rainier in the Sunrise
Sunrise at Home Sweet Home
This is one of my favorite backpacking photos. We were camped at Home Sweet Home where the shelter had previously stood … since collapsed due to heavy snow and lack of maintenance (Olympic National Park budget cuts). Home Sweet Home is reached by hiking (13 miles) up the North Fork Skokomish trail and crossing First Divide. Shortly after starting the drop down into the Duckabush valley you find this lovely meadow.
Mt Whitney in the Sunrise
This is the view from Lone Pine Campground near the town by the same name. You can see the Mt Whitney Portal access road in the lower right corner.
