mountain

After a winter/spring recovering from a broken leg I finally got out for a good full day hike/climb yesterday up one of my favorite local mountains, Vesper Pk. I normally ski it at least once a year, but this time too much snow had melted on the lower mountain to make bringing the skis worth...

T.A. Moulton Barn about an hour after sunrise, next time I want to be there for sunrise. Earlier I posted a pano shot of this, but I like this better.

Tien Shan Range, Kirghizistan, 1989. We climbed the rocky ridge left of center on our way to the first american ascent of Khan Tengri.

I was doing some scouting last night here for milkyway shooting in July. There are several abandoned structures from the Gold Hunters of 1880s. BTW, this is my first Pixel Shift image (the one below). Location: Mayflower Gulch, CO

My first time to Mono, A friend of a friend told me I had to check this place out and so glad I did. CC always welcome...

My friend Rick Wyatt had just done the first telemark ski descent of The Grand Teton solo. We took a flight around the range to shoot his ski tracks. Shot on Fuji Provia 100 back in the early 80s. Tetons-ski-descent-grand-bw by Jim Dockery posted Feb 23, 2018 at 8:01 AM

I'm the photographer among most of my ski partners. I often wait for them at the top to shoot (or ask them to wait while I ski down and then get set up), which can give a nice little person in a big landscape perspective. This was taken a couple years ago on a wonderful 7,000 ft. descent from...

Not sure where these pictures belong - landscape or digital art - but I've posted here since it seems the most active forum. I've used Google Earth for years to get aerial views of the mountains I like to climb and ski. The pictures are useful for route planning and I often use them in slide...

I posted some pictures of pieces of beautiful stained glass I bought to do this mosaic. Just got it done and hung under my back deck where I can see it from my computer right now. Glass is glued to a 20" x 30" window, then coated with resin. The black mat is digital to frame this web version...

Mt. Adams Dawn

A beautiful little peak with a funny name. Hidden away in a back corner of the central Cascades it presents a tough challenge because no trail gets very close. I tried climbing it on a beautiful fall day a few years ago, but got turned back by slippery snowy conditions. The peak in the...

Many people consider this profile of Eldorado Pk. in the North Cascades to be the most graceful in the park. Eldorado-sunset-2 by Jim Dockery posted Mar 17, 2018 at 5:55 AM

I went back up to the Skagit Valley for the second day in a row hoping to catch a nice sunset on the mountains. It wasn't spectacular, but quite nice. I especially like viewing this side of the mountain which is one of my favorite ski runs in the state which I do at least once a year...

My partner Eric cooperates the best he can to help me get good ski shots. Ski fun, and getting down safely, is always the priority, but when we can get a shot like this where he hit the sun spot perfectly, it makes me very happy when I'm back home. Eric-skis-slot-bw by Jim Dockery posted Feb...

A few years ago I did a solo on my birthday eve to spend the night on top of this cool little mountain in the Monte Cristo area of the central Cascades. Clouds weren't anything special at sunrise, but the morning light on these mountains (I've climbed most of em, many multiple times) was...

A tough steep hike off trail got us to our camp near the summit of Painted Mountain in the central Cascades a few summers ago. My friend Tom is pictured here on top in the evening as I hiked the ridge looking for a location to shoot sunset. Tom-on-Summit-Red-Mt._Panorama1 by Jim Dockery posted...
