Images of the Enchantments

Posted on March 13, 2017 by Andy Porter

The Enchantments are a small section of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, in the North Cascades of Washington State.
There are many magical sights to see.
Here are three of my favorites:

Colchuck Lake from Aasgard Pass
Isolation Lake
Prusik Peak and Gnome Tarn

Prusik Peak: Which version is best?

This image of Prusik Peak and Gnome Tarn (Tarn = snow melt pond) I captured this October in the Enchantments, part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, in Washington State.

Here is the original. Not too bad…this view gives a wide perspective and includes the bottom of the tarn.

Here is the first crop, cutting out part of both top and bottom, creating a panorama of sorts.

And here is the close crop, focusing in on the peak and reflection.

Do you prefer one over the others?

Please let me know your thoughts!

Thank you,

Prusik Peak in the fall is an alluring sight. The larches turn bright orange and if the weather co-operates the blue skies punctuate the landscape.
I luckily won the lottery for a permit this fall and last week I spent 5 days in the Enchantments, exploring and ogling the colors.
