The Rocky Mountains, My View

2013 Evening Storm on Mt Hood.
This image shows the unpredictability of mountain weather. My camera was set up on a ridge bathed in late day sunlight while across the deep valley a storm was converging on the 14,000 foot high Mt. Hood.

2013 Full Moon at Dusk
Mt Hood is again one of the subjects of this photograph. The storm had dissipated as quickly as it had arrived. The sky cleared and as dusk faded into night, the full moon appeared over this cold evening landscape.

2013 Evening Meditation
This peaceful looking fellow looks meditatively out at the moonlit landscape. His monk-like robe is really a heavy blanket protecting him from the rapidly dropping temperatures and strong winds.

2013 Tundra Light
I love the open austere and desolate environment of the high tundra above the tree line. Standing here in the peaceful fading light of day you can feel how powerful storms regularly devastate this place .

2012 Storm Light on Byers Peak
A late afternoon storm pelted the summit showing an interesting display of light and shadow.

2012 Wind on the Meadow
High winds whipped through this meadow blowing huge clouds of snow, and large tress around. The mountains here seem more foreboding then majestic.

2012 Wind Rock and Snow
On the 12,000 foot Byers Peak sun and  raw power of 100 mile an hour winds created an interesting play of light and shadow as the snow was blasted miles off the summit into the air.
