Check out the colors in this photo! I love photography, especially landscapes, and this caught my eye because of the purples in the image. There was probably a small window of opportunity for this shot, and he got it! Bruce McKay published this photo on Flickr March 15th of this year. He says it was taken the first day of his spring break. I should take a photo of a miserable, raw, rainy afternoon and publish it as the first day of my spring break, which currently starts tomorrow. I'd rather be there.
Here is a link to this black and white photo of Mount Rainer, taken by Jeremy Chen.http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremychen/58229721/
After exploring Flickr, I just couldn't pull myself away from the landscape pool. Not only do I like photography, but I find black and whites to be elegant, soothing, and dramatic all at the same time. I chose to search for Mount Rainer, the pride and joy of my backpacking career. Yes, I climbed this bad boy about 15 years ago. Check out the Mount Rainer climbing blog below for lots of cool stuff. I wish I could find data for female climbers. At the time, someone told me the number of female climbers was far fewer. Regardless, I remember this view, and it was life changing. For those who have never been to Washington State, you have to see it to believe it.
