Description Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery! Faves, comments, collecting, and recommendations are always appreciated. Also, I invite you to download this image to use for your desktop wallpaper. Please respect my work by not printing, selling, or reposting it.

This week I hiked/climbed Mount Saint Helens for the second time. (I will post a photo taken from the crater rim.) My friends and I started up the trail at 5:00 am. As we got above timberline, the sun was rising and we had fine views of Mount Adams and Mount Hood (60 miles to the south). This is the north face of Mount Hood.

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

(Technical details: Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200 lens, B+W Circular Polarizer, f/5, 1/50 second, ISO 800.)

The almost washed out feeling really makes this photo, I think. Stunning.

This is exactly how Mount Hood - indeed, any mountain - should look in the morning. Great shot!

The highlights from the sun add an element that really makes this wonderfully amazing.

I agree... the sunlight was sublime. I was not carrying my tripod, so I was concerned that it would be blurry.
