About a week ago, Gene, and Phil, fellow ski patrollers and I skied out to this ridge to scout a hopefully proposed location for a new temporary Mount Tahoma Trails hut about two miles beyond the Copper Creek Hut. The view included Mount Rainier above the Glacier View Wilderness and Mount Beljica, the Goat Rocks, Sawtooth Ridge, Mount Adams, Griffin Mountain, Mt St Helens, Mount Storm King, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountain Range. What a day! What a view!
(the image also has three sets of cougar tracks that course along the ridge).
Mount Tahoma Trails - Ski Trooper Ridge - 360º panorama©2008 Ed BookWe are calling the ridge Ski Trooper Ridge to honor the Army's 10th Mountain Division who got their start early in the 1940's on Mount Rainier. The location is on privately owned timber company land and so any hut we would erect would have to be stationed in place temporarily being moved after the snow season. We've been thinking of designing some sort of arrangement of ocean shipping containers mounted on trailers. This hut would be crude compared to our (Mount Tahoma Trails Association) other huts which are actually (3) two story cabins and a two story yurt located along our 50+ miles of cross country ski trails.

 ©2007 Ed Book a couple weeks ago while I was out on Puyallup Ridge after sunset, I set up my Canon EOS 1Ds MkII camera on a tripod and framed in on Mt Rainier and the sky. For this composition, I made about forty thirty-second exposures using a remote release cord so as not to move the camera. In Photoshop, I imported all the individual exposures into one file in register and changed the blend mode of all layers except the bottom to 'lighten'.

Puget Sound from Whidbey Island, WA ©2006 Ed Book Last week, I was at the Coupeville Arts Center on Whidbey Island and when leaving, I stopped by Ft Casey to look around... Photo by Pentax S40 digital camera. My home is across the water beyond the ship. To get to Whidbey Island, I drive north about twenty miles and across the Hood Canal Floating Bridge to the Olympic Peninsula. Then, I drive north another thrirty miles to Port Townsend where I catch the ferry across Admiralty Inlet to Keystone on Whidbey Island. while I've got your attention look here (I approved this ad)) Peace Tags: landscape, mount rainier, nautical, panorama, puget sound, waterflow, whidbey island
