Hmm. That is a decent picture. Usually I just take a picture of the epic mountain, but this time I got something interesting in the foreground.

Here's the gallery from the day. https://imgur.com/gallery/GjW5RyA

You have to 'open image in new tab' to get the actual full size...couple 3440x1440 wallpaper sizes in there.

To the left of the mountain is Pitcher Mountain (5915 ft). The view of Little Tahoma is blocked.

I didn't write it, I think it was Willard Espy.

Well...most of them are a bit of a stretch, LOL.

No Humptulips or Skookumchuck, I'm mildly disappointed.

Edit: Oh, it's from a book circa 1973/1975. I guess gramma liked it.

Yeah I meant the website links (that I'm getting on desktop) might not work on mobile.

$5 for the app, not bad, but I prefer desktop anyways...

There was some other app that does similar thing, I think it's $10?

It takes a minute to load, and probably doesn't work on mobile.

Hey I resemble that remark!

:(

Umm...the only road to get to Johnston Ridge? 504.

Believe me, it's from the viewing area there near the observatory.

Up on the hill nearby? There is a sundial that I cropped out.

I think I've had similar frustrating issues in the past. It might just be the site.

Thanks everyone. Sometimes I get lucky. I've taken quite a few road trips and sunrise pictures the last few years. It's easy to get epic scenery (North Cascades, Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, ocean, etc etc etc), but sometimes the light and the fog just work.

FYI it's on Hwy 2, south of Coles Corner and Winton. Go forth and have fun taking pictures.

I actually went back a few days later (I like road trips and taking pictures). Got to this spot ~30 minutes later because I went to Lake Wenatchee for sunrise. The fog was different, I got a couple OK shots, but not as good as this one.

Cool.

I find forest photography to be very tough. Sometimes the moss, ferns, branches, etc...will catch my eye, but getting a good photo is hard for me.

Yeah it's like 5 hours away. Too far for a day trip, I'd have to stay overnight somewhere.

Yes that gets me too.

Also SEA makes me think Seattle, not South East Asia.

'Washington, District of Columbia' is such a weird, annoying name.

Totally clear.

Kind of surprisingly clear. Did we have some pineapple express rain?

Thanks.

No Instagram. I'm old.

South.

I was having a brainfart trying to identify it. Looking at the map I figured it out, it's Pyramid Peak.

Thanks. I use a Canon RP.

I mostly just take pictures for myself. I tried to 'go pro' awhile ago, but I'm not that good at sales or marketing. About 90% of being a successful photographer is being good at sales and marketing...

No, Seattle area. Road is closed at Ross Dam trailhead, a couple miles past the Diablo Lake overlook.

1: Thanks.

2: I'd say for sure it's not that. I think it might be Pinnacle Peak, but it's kind of a common name so searches come up with a few different peaks.

Edit: Pyramid and Pinnacle Peaks.

Another shot from a bit later. Does this link work?

Yes, thanks. I have bad habits sometimes. I tell myself I won't make bad HDR, but then looking back after a couple years...I made bad HDR. So this is a much more natural, dark shot. :)

Is it just slightly too dark?

I'm going back and re-editing old photos. I had made a HDR version of this, but it looks too HDR. It's a tough balance on sunrise photos, making it too bright removes the 'contrast of sunrise'. Kind of hard to explain.

Aww, nice. Thanks.

My grandfather wasn't a huge boater, but he did like to swim (in the Sound sometimes).

The grandparents got a vacation home up on Whidbey, and got a small rowboat. They called it the Alphar, with the idea being the second boat would be based on Beta, and so on through the Greek alphabet. Well they never got past the first boat, and it's being used as a planter up at the old cabin.
