Mount Rainier sunset

At first it was advertisement for the Russian military in Moscow subway that prompted me to go to the Eunice lake and shoot Rainier from there. Yep, it was an American mountain. In an advertisement for the Russian border patrol service. Perhaps, as an indication of future goals.

 

Then it was this shot from Robert J. Nagy that made me feel like wanting to get there. I waited one year before I could make it.

 

Well, i didn't make it all the way to the place where Robert took his picture. Maybe it was my mistake, may be it wasn't: because in one day I was able to shoot sunset from the trail and from the lake itself. Two great shots for the price of one!

 

Finally, couple of warning: trail around Eunice lake is not a trail at all! Be careful scrubling around it. Also, take a flashlight because after sunset it gets dark very quickly and all the way back to the parking lot I made in complete darkness with only my lamp lighing the forest. Pretty scary experience have to say. But well worth it! :)
