Description

On Easter weekend we took a drive up to the Mt Baker area, it was breathtaking and so refreshing, just what I needed!!! enjoy... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mount Shuksan is a glaciated peak in the North Cascade National Park. Shuksan lies immediately to the east of Mt Baker, just south of Canada. Shuksan is composed of Shuksan Greenschist, oceanic basalt that was metamorphosed when the Easton terrane smashed into the west coast of North America, approximately 120 million years ago...

sigh * It's so nice to see something familiar. It does my heart good. There's nothing like the Cascades, is there? Beautiful shot. You must have been there on Saturday - it was such a gorgeous day! Thanks for posting this.

Wow, what a treat this one is. I don't think I've ever seen this mountain; I don't get up that way very often. This is a beautiful capture. I love seeing the sun on that pristine snow. Yeah, I noticed the color of the ice. Same color for the same reason. :-)

Wow, now I know what I'm going to get to see in June since this area is on our travel itinerary. Akemi, this shot is spectacular! Between you and Dennis (Cosine) I seem to be following the two of in your travels. It was your picture of Palouse Falls that peaked our interest and we went to visit that on one of our car trips (and it was well worth the visit).

Beautiful mountain view & I can see why you found it breathtaking. Next week, my wife & I are going to celebrate her birthday with some friends at Mt. Shasta, another amazing mountain - though it's not very likely I'll be able to get a shot this spectacular...

A very very good shot ! A beautiful landscape, very well exposed (difficult to expose correctely the snow, but you achieved this very well), nice composition of 3 distinct areas with classical harmonious proportions, and a very high visual quality.
