The light in Seattle on this day was very odd. All day the big gray heavy clouds hung over the sky above, but the horizon had this clear band; while the light was muted from above it leaked out the edges of the sky line, almost as if all day the sunset was just about to burst. As I drove home a bit early this afternoon I noticed how fantastic the light was at the horizon on Rainier. I drove up to the overlook over I-90 but the view of Rainier wasn't clear enough so I decided to drive down the coast of Lake Washington searching for a view point. Coleman Park didn't offer a great angle either so I kept driving down to Seward Park where I stopped and took this photo.

I hauled wood and built a big fire. I even split some of the cedar with rocks and had great kindling. The fire wasn't all that "big" so I took a couple of photos around the fire and went to bed. I was in my tent with my shoes and jacket off and ready to crawl into my bag when I noticed the fire had really gotten bigger. So I put my jacket and shoes back on and went and set up the tri-pod again. I set the timer for three photos and as the first one fired I threw in a big rock and this was the third frame. One of my favorites from the trip.

Sometimes the conditions are just perfect. The way the snow ridge is that day, the height of the sun behind you. The sky.... This was one of those times.
