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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
