Mt Shuksan Belt of Venus Sunset

Mt. Shuksan located in Washington State is one of the most majestic glacial mountains in the continental US.  While sitting directly at its base, you are instantly overwhelmed by its shear size and massiveness – a good reminder of how small humans really are in perspective.  Combine that with Fall colors and a beautiful late evening Belt of Venus glow with its multicolor red and blue bands and you have a world class photo and viewing experience… 

I focused one shot on a two way pano stitch to help show the scale of this beautiful peak and then I put the wide angle lens on to capture some of of the fall color foreground with the peak pushed back a bit.   

I hope these shots helped you at least capture a brief moment of this spectacular setting….

Thanks for viewing my site and hope your Fall has been fantastic…

 

Picture Lake with Mt. Shuskan – Sunrise, Daytime, Sunset…

It is amazing how the same place can look so different depending on the time of day… Picture Lake located in Washington State in Mt. Baker National Forest is the perfect example of this… 

It is simply an awe inspiring location any time of day but for me, first and last light are the most exceptional… especially when you add in the Belt of Venus,  some fresh snow, and Fall colors mixed in! This place is unmatched in beauty…
