mt baker sunset

all this week i (r. j.) has been in bellingham, washington teaching at the Lummi Nation. i got a chance take a short trip to Mt. Baker last night. the air was clear and mild and made for some comfortable reflection time, which has always been key for rest and rejuvenation. RJK_9397

love that warm sunset glow and that sharp, sharp pond reflection. this is my 'money shot.'

after sunset, the temperature dropped just enough to create mystical fog on the lake. this was one of my final shots. i was excited to capture the fog illuminated by the rising moon (note the orange glow). i hooted and hollered in excitement of something ansel adams might be proud of, and am pretty sure i got a few strange looks from the local marmot population.
