February, 2010 Archives


We’ve had some beautiful, clear sunsets and sunrises this week, so I was excited to wake up early this morning so that I could accomplish something on my photography bucket list, a panorama of Wallula Gap.  I left my house at 5:30am with just a faint glow starting to show up in the east, and clear skies with wispy clouds overhead.  It was going to be perfect. I head up the river, and about five miles from my destination, I run into…fog.  Dense, cold, frosty fog.  Instead of turning back, I went ahead and parked at the base of the twin sisters, grabbed my gear, and trudged up the hill.  At the top, where I would have had a glorious, expansive view, I couldn’t even see the river just a few hundred feet away.  Rather than give up, I went ahead and grabbed some shots of the trees up there, and at least take advantage of the atmosphere that the fog was creating.  I’ll try the pano again in a few weeks.  Thankfully, spring is just around the corner.


One more, just for fun!
