Winter Solstice

Excellent capture Tom. Love those mountains in the clouds. Great depth and color contrast.

Regards, Tom

Absolutely breathtaking photo, Tom. And simply breathtaking vista that the Northwest offers. Incredible colors in this and strong contrast between the dark spiky foreground and the light softer clouds. Very nice! Greetings from alicia.

Thanks a lot for your return Tom and Alicia. I figured this one was buried deep enough in my gallery no one would notice it. It is one of my favorite days of the year when the days start getting longer. In addition the sun sets early enough that I can get photos on my way home from work with out missing dinner!

Very pleased by your visits

Tom

Tom, I took the time to sign up because of your extraordinary photos of Puget Sound and the Olympics - Seen via Google Earth Panoramio. I was wondering if you own a boat at Shilshole? I do and from there took full moon setting north pics in January. In any case, I will be attempting some HDR images with my D80 because you have inspired me. Well done you! Randy

Hi Randy, I don't own a boat however I work at the boatyard there. You should post some of your shots here! I have yet to try HDR, let me know how it goes.

PS What kind of boat do you own?

Tom

Beautiful picture! This is why I love living in Seattle - always a gorgeous photo waiting to happen, somewhere nearby!

You are so right plastikfear!

Tom

Lovely. Thank you for sharing...
