Mountain Peaks of the North Cascades (Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest)

A view looking to the northwest while on the Lady of the Lake ferry ride. What I wanted to capture with this view was the look of mountain ridgelines that seemed to crisscross one after another leading off into the distance to snowcapped mountain peaks. In many of the images I captured that day, I decided to crop out the lake in the foreground as I felt the mountain peaks were the main focus of what I wanted to capture that day. Here though I did minimal cropping of the lake, deciding that the lake added a complementary color contrast with the blue-greens of the water to the browns and greens and even slight purples of the mountainsides above.
