I took this shot about 5 minutes after stumbling into Marc Adamus who kindly directed me to the gorgeous Avalanche Lilies.

Avalanche Creek

]]>The moss covered, jasper walls of Avalanche Creek are one of my favorite aspects of Glacier National Park. That and how this creek is a torrent of colors, particularly after rain.

The stone walls are jasper, a stone that polishes well and usually breaks with a smooth surface.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper

When jasper (which forms the majority of the bedrock in Glacier National Park), or really any other surface, is wet or polished, the color is much more brilliant. In this case, the stream has been carving out this canyon for quite some time [understatement perhaps] and all the surfaces are polished smooth. Between ice fractures and all the complex eddies, some rather unique rock formations have formed.

Wahkeena Falls

]]>I recently dug this shot out of the archives; originally I doubted anything would turn out from Wahkeena due to some nasty wind that sent mist/spray EVERYWHERE and generally made a mess...but I found this gem.

Boardman Starscape

(PinnaclePhotography) — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 06:20:30 GMT

]]>This is what happens when you arrive at Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor far to late for sunset...you take the wrong trailhead (they are poorly marked, even in daylight), stumble around for a while, realize you are lost, and hope the headlamp batteries last...

Anyway, I was trying to find the location of the Natural Bridges, but the map lied (or I would like to believe so at any rate).

Later I tried to find out where precisely I took this shot; I looked at 3 maps of the area, none agreed...so this is my Boardman shot of dubious location. I was standing next to a cliff, near a waterfall of some sort. I had hoped to reproduce something similar to an awesome shot by Jesse Estes, but I arrived late and got lost instead...I did see a mountain goat though.
