Higher Calling

Snow has returned to the Northwest in great abundance over the past week. 3-5 feet of new up and down the Cascade range. I started out early Saturday and spent a day and a half snowshoe-backpacking to be in this beautiful alpine landscape, high in the Three Sisters wilderness above Chambers Lakes, when the storms finally cleared. The clearing was brief but memorable. It felt as if I was the only person to have ever seen this landscape, and in a sense, I suppose I was. I returned late yesterday just in time to dig my car out of Forest Road 15 before it was burried until June.

 

Thanks for your comments.

Excelente imagen de gran belleza, magnífica luz, color y gran edicion. Saludos cordiales . 7/7 en anon.

Well done Marc, you seem to be surviving the 'here come's Marc Adamus, lets sack his pictures to shit with 3/3s' jealousy bombing of late, long may it continue (not the bombing, the surviving, oh god I'll shut up)

 

Great shot, really good colours, I just want to tip the camera down a fraction and bring in more of those lovely sweeping lines in the bottom centre, or crop off the top a little. None the less its very cool, so cool it's freezing.

Damnit....why did I have to put snowshoe tracks all over that foreground...always, always find the perfect composition BEFORE actually walking through the scene.

Man, this makes me homesick. I always loved this spot (south of Camp Lake, on the way up to Carver) best of all the Cascades, and you've got some magnificent light and form captured here. The way the wind-carved ridges in the snow capture that last sunset light is really magical. Thanks for the taste of Home.

Fabulous image Marc! Perfect exposure like usual, lovely light on the fresh fallen snow all sculpted by mother nature. What's not to like.?

All the best,

Neil

Amazing light, amazing picture!

fantastic light and atmosphere as in all your photos... I love the effect of the snow on the three on the right... lots of compliments!

You have a right to be exceptionally proud of this one. Hard work well rewarded! GJ

Hi Marc good to see you are still around.... I see what you mean with the number views good photograph's get on Photo.net well down on years ago. This shot a Landscape wonderland great side light wonderful colour.

Really amazing the light lines below on snow.. like's me a lot!!!

regards!!

Terrific work, not only the photographing of the actual scene but the effort and dedication needed to accomplish it....Regards

Rather than commenting on this photo I prefer watching it ! Really stunning light conditions. This is my favorite light - clearing storm around sunrise.

 

As for the composition I'm wondering if it was possible to include more foreground snow by sacrificing a little bit of sky. Those natural shapes in the snow are fabolous.

 

Great effort and final result !
