The sheer north face of Capitol Peak (14,137 ft; 4,309 m) rises above the Capitol Creek drainage to commanding heights over golden clones of Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides), Aspen-Snowmass Wilderness, Colorado. Capitol is one of the most difficult peaks to ascend in the Elk Range, and its famous knife-edge is clearly visible from this vantage as we look southward up the creek.
There was an interesting article in High Country News recently about the way social media has transformed people's perception of danger and responsibility in these mountains. In 2017 alone five people died on this peak; some were relatively experienced and some were not. To a few, the fatalities seem to have strengthened the allure in the sense that people report having 'crushed' what they perceive as a challenge, building imaginary points in the land of selfies and social media stoke. It cannot be said more plainly: People do not crush mountains. We are wise to respect our own limitations when in their proximity, and in return they give us a sense of the wild and that which is unconquerable. It is easy to deceive oneself that because others have posted victorious summit photos, it must be safe, as if wilderness and weather ought to interact predictably on the one or two days we have allocated ourselves for the adventure.
Thanks for reading... I'll go and retire my soap box for the time being. My heart goes out to those families and friends who lost loved ones.
As Deception Creep flows through the forest on its way to meet the Tye River it makes a abrupt thunderous right angle bend in the weather resistant granitic rock. These images were made just below that rock formation. On this morning the sun was illuminating the mist. I spent some time and made a number of images as the mist came and went. I processed these images in several different ways. This edit is a graphic low-key emphasizing the highlights and shadows.

I was working on a technique taught by Christopher O'Donnell for dodging and burning and picked this image out because the sky needed a lot more texture. He uses solid fill layers to dodge with and, although a bit complicated, it works well. These are old abandoned structures on Deception Island, Antarctica. It was one of the few places where we were free to roam around and hike a bit. I liked the shapes and colors of the structures against the naturally bleak atmosphere of the day.
October 9, 2016: Because I did a shorter hike than planned, I had time to drive around and explore new roads. I don't know how I never stumbled upon this before, but this is a pond along Old Cherry Mountain Road. Google Maps states that this is Deception Brook.
What's the coolest shape for an island? If you ask me, it would be this circular-shaped island with a small entrance, just like Deception Island. Perfect fit for a secret lair or quiet getaway. In reality, this is considered to be one of the safest harbors in Antarctica.

Tucked away along Highway 2 in the Cascades, Deception Falls is a hidden gem of Washington’s wilderness. Crystal-clear water rushes through moss-covered rock and cedar forest, filling the air with the sound of pure mountain energy.
Deception Pass is a strait separating Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island, in the northwest part of the U.S. state of Washington. It connects Skagit Bay, part of Puget Sound, with the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The current absolutely rips through the pass between the mainland and Whidbey Island.

Deception is key in anything. It allows for the upper hand. For victory, and I always win. For months now we have carefully tip-toed around the UIC with a small hiccup or two in the road. But the execution of this fly will provide them with a false idea of hope. But in reality further enshrouding the UIC in a cloud of doubt an uncertainty.

Tried a different technique to get the LE effect during a sunrise shoot. I had forgotten to get the 10 stop filter out of the kit bag and it was too much effort to wade back (we were in knee deep water in the bay) to the shore and get it out of the car. Besides the rapidly developing light, would definitely have meant the moment would be lost, so I decided to achieve the same with a stacked image.

This scene is part of "Deception Falls" near Skykomish, Washington. A small inlet down stream with deep green moss covered trees and exposed roots.

I spent some time recently making the acquaintance of a new bridge. They were moments well spent watching the waves and my son pour and pore over the rocks of this small beach.

Deception Creek crashes down a few steps, then glides over smooth rock under the highway and ends in a square, misty plunge before emptying into the Tye River.
