The above photograph of Mount Shuksan was taken at the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in the state of Washington. If the rest of the national forest is anything like this picture, it would make a fine destination for any nature-lover. I’ve had very little exposure to the state of Washington. I once flew into Whidbey NAS in Oak Harbor and spent a few days there in the late eighties. I remember it being a friendly and quaint little town that reminded me of the small towns in southern Maine that I once lived in.
What I really like about this picture is the contrast between the mountain peak and the foreground. The vibrant and varied colors around the lake and the deep green of the treeline stand in sharp contrast to the monolithic shading of the mountain.
