An evening cloud break, April 5th, 2010. Under-exposed by 1.5 stops to keep the snow from blowing out. Click on the photo for a larger size, it's worth it!
I am currently very lucky to be living in a house with an astounding view. Every now and then, I take a look out the front windows and find a view that is stunning, and I have to grab my camera and start taking pictures. Individually, these photos are not much more than that: snapshots from the front deck. Together, though, they show the volatility of the landscape in this area between the mountains, Lake Stevens, and the Puget Sound.
A rainy day in Lake Stevens
Rainbow over Lake Stevens
Rain and clouds highlighted by the evening sun, Lake Stevens, WA.
Much of the time, the mountains across the lake are completely obscured by clouds, but on rare occasions, wind will blow the clouds and haze away, leaving the mountains crisp and clear. But even when the sky is full of clouds, it can be breathtaking.
Sunset, more rain in Lake Stevens.
Wow, that second to last shot is unreal! I wish I had weather like that around our house…Very beautiful exposures!
Thanks Gregg, I’m glad you found your way back to my site, too
