Finally saw Rainier's reflection from Reflection Lake. Was here last year and the winds was too strong for an reflection to form. Thought of using the tree and the wildflowers to form an inverted V. Also met ART WOLFE! What an exciting morning! :)
Carrying 47lbs of camera gear up South Sister totally kicked my a$$. About a 14miles hike roundtrip with 5000 ft elevation gain, I struggled here and there but we made it just in time for sunrise! The entire area looked a little smoky due to all the forest fires in the area. Here's a shot from 10,358ft, Oregon's 3rd highest mountain. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)
