The Path to Mordor

Tolkien's epic novel was so well constructed, it's quiet beginnings in the green rolling hills of the Shire and then into wonderment, only to traverse into and digress to the harshest of environs. It's not true in this case of course, we are the Evergreen State after all, but one can look out there at the distant volcanoes and imagine the journey. And the hobbits didn't have Gortex.

 

This one was taken from atop Dege Peak and I didn't think it would turn out by looking at the RAW file, but pulling down a filter, whalla! Baker and Glacier appeared out there and so....

 

Blow it up, I'm amazed at the detail in Baker which is darn near in Canada, about 200 miles to the North.
