@Bookfool: And I wanna go back and climb that mountain so I can take more pix! We need to take a road trip, Nancy!

You should see Mt. Hood today. We just had our first winter storm. Love the fact that you left the power lines in.

@john4jack: You know, I considered taking the power lines out, but I'm just not very skilled in all that "processing" stuff. I shoot my pix, crop as needed, and maybe help adjust the lighting, but that's it.

Our big storm has arrived. We had snow yesterday and now we're getting rain/sleet/thunder snow. Ugh, what a mess it'll be tomorrow morning driving in to work.

@Linerberry: Thanks, m'dear. I'm rather fond of it myself.

k@ from Paris, France

If only I could be here, right now ! Beautiful colors, lights, and atmosphere !

@k@: I'd like to return, but it's probably bitterly cold right now. Not much different than where I am now. 22 (F), but with thunder snow.

Beautiful peak
It just sits there saying "Climb Me"

@grouser: Next time! I promise.

Nina from Hamburg, Germany

So beautiful with this natural light.. a great image, Lesley, really wonderfully captured!

16 Dec 2008 12:11pm

@Nina: Thanks, Nina. I hope to get back again someday. It'd be fun to shoot the same view in a different season.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Magnificent, what a beautiful view and landscape, I expect to see Heidi any minute, running through the sunflowers, laughing with joy, great feeling here Les :)

@Lorraine: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Had to laugh at your Heidi comment. I can hear her calling, "Grandfather, where are you?!" ;)

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada

That is a clever bit of framing for the mountain. Lovely shot.

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks, Michael. I knew what I saw, but hoped it would translate on "film" just as I envisioned. Sure enough, it worked!
