A shaft of sunlight crossed this mountain valley while I was hiking near Chinook Pass early Saturday morning. What caught my eye was how the light cut across the layers of ridges and haze in the distance. It felt quiet and peaceful, especially watching the light slowly move through the valley as the sun rose over the ridge. What catches your eye first here, the light or the layers of mountains? 🏔️📷

Two hours of stars over Mount Rainier, compressed into one minute. 🌌 I photographed this from the White River area as the Milky Way moved across Little Tahoma Peak toward Mount Rainier. Airplanes, satellites, and even a searchlight crossed the frame.

Last Wednesday morning at Paradise, I followed the Skyline Trail through some of the strongest fall color I saw that day. I liked how the trail curved through the red and yellow foliage toward Mount Rainier. Would you stop here for a photo, or keep following the trail? 🍂🏔️📷

Looking across the Tatoosh Range toward Mount Adams. 🏔️ I used a longer lens to compress the scene and bring the different mountain ridges closer together. Do you prefer wide mountain landscapes, or tighter telephoto views like this?
