Third time is a charm right?
Typically my outdoors photos are hiking etc but yesterday I got a once in a lifetime opportunity. My friend is a professional pilot for private jets and does seaplane stuff part time. He said with the downturn in tourism, the boss wanted to get some new marketing shots of the planes for web/social use that they'e been putting off for years. My wife and I just had to act like tourists and be people props for some of the photos. DONE.

We left from just south of Seattle, flying with two planes in formation in order to get shots of the plane in action. At times, we were ten feet from one another. We flew up to the San Juan islands, stopped at Sucia in a hidden beach cove for a few hours, stopped in both Roche and Friday harbors and then flew back during sunset. It was awesome. I was watching for whales, saw a bunch of wildlife on one of the more secluded islands. It was a great time.

Crossposted from Hiking/Backpacking thread.

Just got back from 4 days in goat rocks wilderness in Washington (33 miles or so). We started at Lily basin, went to goat lake, camped in cispus basin and wound up in walupt lake via the PCT. Beautiful views of Mt Rainier, Mt Adams, Mt St Helens etc. Great hike.









Fixed the timg tag.

That's cool. I've always wondered about that place since learning about it as a kid.

That's beautiful. Where was this taken? Cispus pass?

I was looking for advice on a nice loop hike and ended up doing a loop around Glacier Peak. I cannot fathom how we have so much beauty in WA.



Jesus Christ that's nice.

That's in feet? I thought maybe it was inches.
