I guess these could fit in travel also, and I might do another color post there. This was on the biggest expedition of my life - climbing in two fantastic areas - in the USSR before it dissolved. The pictures here are from a chopper flight into The Tian Shan range on the Chinese border where we...

Taken from the 14,000 camp on the standard West Buttress route up Denali.

Here are a few glacier shots from my trip to Iceland last May, along with a little bit about each of them. 1) Fjallsárlón is near the more famous Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, where we see many photos of ice floating in the waters with mountains in the background. In addition to being less...

My wife was quite cooperative posing for me in this dual portrait of her and Mt. Shuksan from near the end of the short and easy Artists Point trail. I had a 55mm on my Sony A7rII so shot this as a pano of 4 verticals. I do wish I had a bit more water at the bottom to balance it. The dusting of...

A few more from a successful summit climb/ski of the Emmons Glacier in 2013 to celebrate a friend's 65th B-day! Sunrise wake up. Skiing at about 13,000 ft Little Tahoma (3rd highest peak in WA) far below Almost done with skiing, then time to strap skis to packs and hike out another 5...

Not sure if this is over cooked, the rocks in Glacier NP are just amazing, reds, blues and green in all shades. Getting the color right on this has been difficult, any suggestion encouraged.

Late spring - mid-summer is the prime season for back-country skiing on Mt. Rainier. The snowpack has firmed up so there is little avalanche danger on most slopes and crevasses are more apparent and so avoidable (you still have to be damn careful near them). I normally carry my Sony RX100...

From a few years ago where I learned that summers in Glacier can still look like winters in other places. 80% of this hanging valley was still in snow at the beginning of July. All comments are welcome, Jim

I got this when my wife and I returned to our van after a short hike near the Mt. Baker ski area (many people who visit think this is Mt. Baker since it dominates the view at the ski area). I barely had time to set up my tripod and attach a 70-200mm lens to my Sony A7rII before the sun was gone.

Here are a couple of wide angle shots from the Jökulsárlón lagoon in Iceland in between being socked in by fog. The clouds cleared nicely in the early morning so I worked to emphasize them with my 14mm in the first. I zoomed a little more into the second to pick up more of the mountains. Any...

With a very low chance for auroras, and a high chance for smoke, I drove up to Glacier against my better judgement earlier this week..in hopes of getting lucky. When I got to the Flathead Valley the smoke was not too bad, relatively speaking, and I could see blue skies peaking through the haze...

Many thanks to Jim for inviting me to join his newest venture. I'm looking forward to participating as much as I can here. Here is a hidden gem I came across while hiking in the mountains of Glacier National Park, in Montana, earlier this summer. As photographed of a place as Glacier Park is...
