Cool, Jay. Good to see you posting over here. This has always been a favorite - maybe #1 for me, of all your work. Truly stunning show of light here.

Thanks Marc. Varina and I have not had any time to shoot since early summer. Six kids, soccer games, timeouts, homeworks and not to mention work makes life a bit hectic. Both of us are itchting to get out there this fall.

Dang, that's a bunch of kids.

With you and Varina not shooting the world is missing a lot of incredible photography. Hope you find the time soon. If you're heading for Glacier again anytime this fall, let me know!

Great flood of light coming in here! I also like the composition and in particular the fg flowers very much.

Yeah...Tell me about it. Some days wer are ready to give them away for free!! But they ALL love outdoors like their parents. My son has been backpacking since he was 5 and has been on few backpacking trips with me.

Glacier will likely not be this fall, but next summer we want to do a backpacking trip in Glacier. I will forward you the details when finalized. Hope your trip to North Cascades was productive.

Jay, some incredible light. Quite a dramatic shot. I think this is one of my fav's of yours. (BTW, as an aside - double check the url's in your signature, they are just leading to this webpage and not your webpage or timecatcher)

Jay: great to see you here posting. Great light and comp. The top of the URC mountain is a bit dark for the grad line - but that's a minor

Beautiful shot Jay. Glacier is one my favorite places. I lived in Great Falls, MT a couple of years in 1977. Just gorgeous!
