Skyline Divide

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Andy Porter

Last summer I visited Skyline Divide. Located in the North Cascades the trail head is accessed from the Mount Baker Highway. Ascending to the ridge is maybe a 3 mile hike, and then you head out towards Mount Baker along the ridge top.
There were many people there, camping and taking pictures.
One photographer and his friend brought along their dog, who added extra flavor to the images.

This is one of the locations where I lead North Cascades Photo Tours, if you’re interested, here is the link with more info.

Balloon Festival

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Andy Porter

Balloons make wonderful photographic subjects, bright and colorful shapes against a clear sky. The town of Sequim, on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State hosted a 2 day event some time ago and I attended their Night Glow event.

There was a display of antique cars, live music, and of course the balloons. The event was held in a field where they had carefully laid down a thick sheet of plastic and covered it with water to create a reflective pond specifically for the night glow event.

The water ran off, leaving the plastic exposed, but the results at night were stunning!

These images are for sale as canvas wraps (You can get them with floating frames, very cool!) as well as fine art prints. Here is the link.

2016 Calendars are also now on sale HERE!

Goat Rocks Wilderness

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Andy Porter

The Goat Rocks Wilderness is located in the southern Cascades of Washington State. Remnants of an ancient volcano core eroded into crags of stone, the Goat Rocks lie between the mammoth summit of Mount Rainier and Washington State’s second highest peak, Mount Adams.
