Sitting around the campfire drinking Scotch at the Goat Rocks last night, I figured I should make myself useful and take a few photographs.
I've already printed this one and it looks pretty dang nice!

This is one of the best gradient images I've ever seen! Really sweet Mark. Sorry I missed the trip.

This is a textbook example of aerial perspective. The pale salmon sky is a nice touch, and the flourish of light clouds adds a painterly quality.

I enjoy the muted, mysterious feel that often seems missing from more "iconic" images from the PNW.

The layers and colors make a comfortable softness of a rugged place.

Mark,
I agree with the rest. The haze gives a great sense of distance. Very cool!

One of the best "layered ridges" shots I've seen. Great job!
