Eminence - Rattlesnake Lake, WA

My inaugural visit to Rattlesnake was a revelation. After spending over two decades in the lowlands of Florida, this encounter with the mountainous terrain proved profoundly inspiring. While I had previously encountered mountains, this experience felt undeniably exceptional.

The moment was marked by ethereal beauty as clouds draped themselves gracefully over the mountain's ridge, crafting a regal crown that seemed aware of its majestic presence. This unparalleled spectacle led me to name the image 'Eminence.'

In 'Eminence,' I sought to capture not just the grandeur of the landscape, but also the profound sense of awe that enveloped me on that unforgettable day. It stands as a testament to the power of nature to surprise, inspire, and reignite our appreciation for the world's natural wonders.
