Meadow at 5,000 feet, Church Mountain, Wash.

I've was there many years ago. The Cascade range is wonderful. When you have kind of a grey foggy day, the whole sky is like a giant softbox and the greens become much more prominent.
I like the angular lines in this and the dark framing along the sides leading the eye along a path to the grey mountain with much more subtle greens, shrouded in clouds against the white sky. Makes me want to go back.
After I retire next year, my wife and I are thinking of moving to Bellingham, so maybe I'll have a chance. She lived in Methow Valley for about 20 years.

Not wanting to beat a dead horse, in rummaging through the archives, I found another that well illustrates the impression of yellow at the intersection of red and green, again definitely bipolar in spectral energy distribution.

Something we all think we want to see in our lifetimes.....

Postscript: Following this shoot, it occurred to me that often we have the pleasure of seeing a concept we have carefully thought out realized in a photograph. However, sometimes things go wrong, and occasionally they go horribly wrong.

The second thing that occurred to me is that whirled peas and domestic peace are clearly not always congruent.
