Photographer's Note
A view from Cascade pass trail, probably the most popular in this park. The trail is not my favourite, because of the shopping mall crowds. About the trail:
The Cascade Pass Trail is a 3.7 mile (one way; 6 km) hike with spectacular views of peaks and glaciers. The trail climbs steadily 1800' (550 m) to the pass. Hikers may explore in several directions from the pass. The Cascade Pass Trail is also a popular starting point for climbing routes to Sahale, Boston, Mixup, and Magic Peaks, and the Ptarmigan Traverse into the Glacier Peak Wilderness.
This well-graded trail can be hiked, round-trip, in about five hours. It switchbacks through cool forests for 3 miles (4.8 km), then traverses through meadows to the pass. As you reach the pass, you are following the footsteps of travelers from ancient times. Native Americans used this route as a passage through the rugged Cascades. In 1811, fur trader Alexander Ross explored this route. Later, prospectors with dreams of gold and silver came this way.

Very nice, Like the effect that the trees are the only not-blue elements on this picture.

Hi Tan.
Another very nice shot.
I think that it was a good thing that the mountains in the background were in the shadow of a cloud. It was more easy to avoid the overexposition of the snow and adds more contrast between the mounts and the sky.

Hi Tan,
Another beautiful clear view and a reminder for me I should post again some cold pics as it gets pretty hot here now... God overlooking point and fortunately the shoppers did not bring the mall with them, just the trail we can follow up to the pass.
have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Tan - the location is great, those mountains are quite dramatic, I also like the long shadows being cast by those trees. Good colours throughout this one.

Hi Tan,
I couldn't resist this wonderful composition of light and shadows. The framing is also exceptional with the line of green trees angling together with the impressive cliff while the translucent clouds explode ove the top. Wonderful!! HLJ, Pat
