I was following a compass heading to enable me to bypass some cliffs, and luckily enough, I was able to squeeze up a snow chute in between two cliffy walls.
As I crested the ridge, this view opened up for me. The tarn was reflecting the warm rock on one of the buttresses of the mountain.
This is an area that shows no signs of humans - no footprints, no remnants of camps, nothing. I'm not so naive to think that no one else has been here, but there certainly was a fine feeling of intimacy and isolation on this beautiful ridge.

Breath-taking as usual, Larry. Its a pity that the high contrast has forced you to sacrifice the lower part. But still what can be seen above speaks to us of a natural paradise.

Thanks all of you. This was a special view, having worked my way up through the fog layer, and then breaking out into the morning sunshine.
I definitely wish I would have had the forethought to at least take two exposures with the 645 and then blend them. I was pretty much out of breath and rather anxious to get off of the rather exposed terrain, so this became more of a snapshot than anything else.
Also, this would have been a good place for a 8x or even 10x GND filter.

It's pretty straightforward - it simply takes effort and some routefinding to "find" these views. I guess one benefit of all that sweat dripping off my nose is that I can stay in some semblance of good physical condition.
There are many, many sweet places in Washington's mountains.
Thanks for the words, Hacksaw!

With a little bit of time (maybe 3 days of hiking) there is no doubt that you could be there with your wonderful Bessa and 15mm lens outfit.

You are never too old! I am 60 years old, Attila!
It is a matter of taking your time and and enjoying the journey as much as the destination...no problem to "bite off" little bits of mileage at a time.

Yes, right! My bones, muscles was overused with 25 years sport. I hope I can walk hours but I am not sure at all. |

Thank you tf! A compliment from you means much to me, as I feel you have a special gift of photography. Again, though...too bad I didn't take the time to shoot two exposures for blending.

I like the shot the way it is. Without filters and stuff is the best you can do, using the shadows as a part of the composition with their diagonal movement.
