"Peaking" peak! - Mt Shucksan

Posted by Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 12 October 2017 in Landscape & Rural.

While enjoying our first visit to Washington State's renowned Skagit Valley, Barbara and I enjoyed the autumn atmosphere as we visited a few nursery's to see their Autumn displays of flowers and pumpkins. I noticed this mountain peak peering over the lower range of the valley.....I could not be sure about the Mountain's name until today, October 12, when the amazing Steve Rice advised me of the name...it is Mount Shucksan.
My gratitude to Steve for "being there!" Steve - You are the Best!

We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.
