Second release from a recent winter backpacking trip to Mount Rainier. I’ve waited several years for conditions this good. Watching the snow begin to just GLOW that morning will be a visual memory which will stay with me for the rest of my life. Should be a couple more releases from the trip coming in the next week or so. More images can be found here.

I started with a simple question…

“Would you like to watch the sunrise in Death Valley?”

And there we were a couple hours later, catching this crazy light on top of a sand dune…

So there I was sitting on a snow hill on a mountain slope he he he. I got up very early that morning to catch the light of the sunrise. But I got this!!! Darkness and a gloomy atmosphere was the gift of the gods on this cold morning. No golden light and everything was just white, gray and blue. I waited an hour for the light and my goodness, was it cold! My fingers were frozen despite gloves. But honestly, I was enjoying the moment. And then only for about 5 to 10 minutes I was able to see this wonderful spectacle. A bit light, fog and in the distance the thunder of a storm … this is what I call a modicum of luck to experience a thunderstorm in the middle of the winter season he he he. The rest of the day was boring … no light, everything dark but hey, I made my shot already before the day began he he he.


Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂
