Sunrise at Sunrise...

If you read the blog post about the travails of my previous Rainier shoot, you will know that I had originally planned to catch the sunrise at Sunrise (the highest point accessible by road in Washington state, on the east slope of Mount Rainer), but that I had been blocked by a fallen tree across the roadway. A few days later, I got my chance for real.


Just before dawn

Once the light on the mountain became too bright, it was time for some wildflower closeups in shaded areas.
