King's Crown. A couple weeks of the year our galactic core can be witnessed rising above the horizon in a low swooping arc during the early hours of dark. The sun sets in such a time during this spring week that allows full darkness to illuminate the stars in the eastern sky as our Planet tilts us into view of the billions of stars that make our Milky Way.

Snoqualmie Pass, WA.

Fire Light At Night. An intensely vibrant south facing view overlooking Snoqualmie Pass, WA. This was shot during a series of large wildfires which filled the sky with smoke. Any light from cars, cities, fires and even stars becomes incredibly potent when viewed through the smoke from a sensitive camera. Seattle city lights ignite the right side of the frame, a mid-summer milky way rises above Mt. Ranier in the background, and the I90 glows while under construction in the dark foreground.
