Sweet!!!! The negative space is beautifully used.

The recent government shutdown & park closures kept me on the logging roads, such as this one, just outside Mount Rainier NP.

The signs of logging can be distracting, but the scalping, I think, intensifies the experience of gazing up at the sublime volcano, and its diverging glaciers.

This is just outside the Park's western boundary, about 8 or 10 miles from the volcano's summit (by line of sight), and 4,500 feet in elevation. A pleasing perspective, I think: not too close, not too far, not too low, not too high. I had hoped for broken skies, or slope-kissing fog, but no luck this early evening.

Overall, Mount Rainier cradles more than 25 glaciers, and their erosive activity is far outpacing volcanic activity (i.e., the mountain-building type), robbing the volcano, century by century, of a once-higher altitude, and a once-conical shape. It’s so craggy now, it looks like a different mountain from each side, as additional images by people here show. Part of its charm for me.

Two slightly different views of "Abandoned exercise station #8" on a near-by passive recreation trail. I was originally walking along, attracted simply by the texture of the fallen leaves, and then noticed the slightly off-trail pull-up bar slowly aging. Both images are negative scans from 4x5 HP5+, developed PMK, taken with Canham DLC & Rodenstock 150mm.

Lovely minimalistic shot in such an adverse weather condition. Great job, Jim. To see this in print would create zen moment!

Great tone! The third one with sheep grazing gave a life to the landscape!
