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? 🏔️📷

A moment in time at the Elbe Market in Elbe, WA.
Great spot for coffee, cones, and souvenirs.
Located directly across the street from the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad.
Sightseeing in Elbe, WA - historic little church, steam train rides...they don't make towns like this anymore.

Digging into a meal at the Mt. Rainier Railroad Dining Company. Great spot after a train ride or trail ride in Elbe, WA.

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?
Last chance to join the fun.
Wrap up your weekend in Enumclaw with BBQ, Brews & Brats, live music, and lawn mower races.
