What skies of drama! Here are some skies-of-calm to complement (compliment) the imagery.

This shot is from two years ago. I’m at 5,000 feet in the Olympic mountains – a secret spot where I pitch my tent. About 80 miles distant, you can just see snow-capped Mount Baker rising in the Cascade mountains, a very different range. Mount Baker is a neighboring volcano to Mount Saint Helens. I remember in 1975 when Mount Baker began spouting steam, visible to the entire region. Many thought she’d lose her temper (as Mount Saint Helens did five years later). Then she quieted down. Thank goodness. But it’s just a matter of time…

Looks like ocean swells to me!

Nice, Daniel, very abstract. Good eye to see the potential there! Did you happen to shoot any of just the first "zone" or the second "zone" alone? I'd be curious to see something like that as well, particularly the "zone" with the thick cornstalks. I've seen images like just the foreground, but never anything like the part with the stalks.

Thanks, h2oman. I'm sure we've all seen plenty of shots of silhouetted grass in water before. What made this scene interesting for me was the progression from delicate individual blades in the foreground to the jumble of stalks in the background. Each zone by itself seemed less interesting.

Daniel...isn't that corn the type they plant in Illinois between Ottawa and DeKalb?

Yessiree. Taken me a while to get onto paper.

All the best,
Daniel

It's really fun going out & shooting along side of Daniel. The problem is, I always seem to like his images better. Daniel has such a terrific eye!

Attached is my take from the same cornfield in Illinois. We had just spent the day shooting at Starved Rock State Park & were on our way north heading to DeKalb. The corn remonded me of Egyptian Hieroglyphics.

That was a fun day. Daniel, I'm still waiting to see that clump of trees.
