peaks

From Hwy 20 in the north Cascades.

I was about to archive a folder of shots from a drive over Hwy 20 through the North Cascades. I saw this shot, which I had passed over for a wider view. This morning I worked on it and cropped in a lot to focus on the angles and layers.

I was flying my drone around Mt. Pilchuck yesterday morning when the clouds started to build. I saw a glory rainbow forming above me, so I flew out and framed the mountain with the rainbow as an accent. It was incredible having the ability to place the camera where I wanted it to capture this...

Taken with my drone on a back-country ski tour of Vesper Pk. (the snowy peak on the far left). Vesper-Pk.-3.1.19-45-Pano by Jim Dockery posted Mar 2, 2019 at 6:42 PM DJI M2P

I could only see a sliver of Big Four from the road, but with a drone the views open up.

We took advantage of the only government shutdown benefit I can think of - the forest service didn't have the $ to shut down the road to Mt. Pilchuck yet so we managed to drive all the way to the trailhead parking lot for a rare easy winter climb. Due to recent rain then freeze cycles the snow...

Looking into the heart of the North Cascades from Green Mt.

My favorite shot from a week of fantastic back-country skiing at Rodgers Pass in BC. This was the run of a lifetime - no tracks, perfect snow with low avy danger, and sun! I made a large print of it for my friend Eric who buys a red jacket just for my pictures. I sure hope I can get a day this...

Fantastic granite climbing, and powder heli-skiing in the winter, on these peaks in the Selkirks of BC.

I'm normally up here for skiing in the spring, but enjoy looking at the rocky ridge that is so smooth with snow cover then.

Another hike up my closest little peak just before the first rains of the fall season started. I was mainly there to try out my new drone, but was glad I brought my Sony A7rII with 24-104mm also for these earthbound shots. Mt. Baker Mt. Baker II Glacier Pk. Three Fingers Looking east...

I posted a color version in the landscape forum, and thought I should show my B&W version here. South Early Winter Spires The entire Liberty Bell group

Most of you have seen Monika's recent star shots from Sky Pond in the RMNP in Colorado, here is one I took almost a month ago. To avoid going down the waterfall climb in the dark that Monika described in her Thread and to be able to shoot both sunset, the stars and sunrise I just stayed up there...

The smoke haze was disappointing, but I shot with B&W conversions in mind. Evening, NE from Sibley Pass Sunrise to the SE

A steep rocky trail (harder on my old knees to descend) leads to this beautiful alpine basin in the central Cascades. _MG_7061 by Jim Dockery posted Feb 13, 2018 at 9:21 AM

This is one of the main peaks I can see from where I live (south of this location). I've climbed it a number of times and slept on top (the right hand summit) a couple times, so I have a personal connection to it. I stopped to get this shot while driving home from a nice winter walk with my...
