Looking across acres upon acres of lava rock interspersed with mountain hemlocks, leading up to the glaciers of North Sister (10,085 ft [3,074 m]) and Middle Sister (10,047 ft [3,062 m]), two of central Oregon's highest volcanic peaks. This is just below the top of McKenzie Pass (5,335 ft [1,626 m]), along Oregon Route 242. This beautiful, narrow, winding road rises up several thousand feet from misty old-growth forests, to subalpine volcanic landscapes, and down to high desert in just a matter of minutes. It is quite rightly on the National Register of Historic Places, and forms part of the McKenzie Pass-Santiam Pass Scenic Byway.
Looking SW at two of Oregon's 3 Sisters: Middle and North peaks.
Each of the Sisters are more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation. They are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Among the most active volcanic areas in the Cascades and one of the most densely populated volcanic centers in the world. The Three Sisters region includes nearby peaks such as Belknap Crater, Mount Washington, Black Butte, and Three Fingered Jack to the north, and Broken Top and Mount Bachelor to the south." Wikipedia
Thanks for taking a look!

Sunset at the Three Sisters - I was lucky enough to pass by this beautiful place when the tide was out and the sunset was just about to arrive. It was a stunningly beautiful evening.
A companion piece to my previous upload titled High Desert Dawn. Pre-dawn is my favorite light, but I've learned it's foolish to leave until after you witness the sunrise, because you never know what the sun's light will do to clouds and terrain on any given day. It could be a real dud and just fizzle, or it could be a real gem and just sizzle. You have to stick it out and see what happens. But once the sun is full up, I'm outta there heading for my coveted morning cup of java somewhere.

Been up here twice this week. Much more snow about this Sunday. A great walk with some of the best views up Beinn a'Chrulaiste.
Yesterday a storm system soaked Arizona, I knew it would be clearing right around sunset so I went out to the Superstitions again, this time I made a painful trek through a field of cactus to find this spot in front of the Three Sisters. The Cholla was relentless but I survived with only a few scratches and spines in my feet. It was very much worth it to see this incredible scene.

A wonderful hike I took years ago. Absolutely gorgeous place if not for the smoke from the wildfire that obscured everything by noon. The peak in the center is just an unnamed hill on the shoulder of South Sister, but the jagged peak with two summits is the famous Broken Top. Lewis Glacier is on the left of the viewer.
This is a photo I actually took a few weeks back and never got around to loading up, to be honest, I’ve never shot the 3 Sisters at Katoomba before and I kinda imagined my first photo to be that perfect landscape shot of them and I just simply didn’t feel that this was the shot. It feels punchy and moody and whilst I love the sky (and was very excited to see it lighting up at the time) I think it takes detracts from the image a bit.
What are your thoughts?
None-the-less. What a cool place. It’s a shame that this is so close to home for me but something I haven’t yet made the most of. That goes for the rest of the Blue Mountains aswell, with so many waterfalls and great scenic lookouts it’s a photographers haven. I’ll have to do a better job at getting back out here again, I still have that ‘perfect landscape shot’ of the Three Sisters I’m waiting for..
Press “L” to view large on black and, as always, thanks for looking!
I was just going through my many photo albums on my hard drive from my time spent in Glencoe over the years. I was looking for a couple of 'yet to be edited' winter images to promote next year's workshop to Glencoe (Jan 2019, announced next week) when I came across this little gem.
It was taken way back in February 2015 and I remember that day so well. I was with a couple of clients, John and Gareth and we were so cold standing around waiting for the sun to hit the peaks of the Three Sisters. But when it eventually arrived and lit them up, all the waiting was worth it.
This is one of the most remarkable views I can think of in the UK. Standing on that rocky ridge, just a ten minute walk from the car affords you some spectacular scenes of the whole valley in front of you. Glencoe really is amazing.
I hope you like the photo. Feel free to share if you wish :D

The Three Sisters volcanic peaks are viewed here from the town of Sisters, Oregon. They are dormant, but on this day the clouds were trying to fool us. The cattle are on the Pole Creek Ranch.
At 51 degrees North, we don't get the midnight sun of the Arctic Circle, but we do get considerable variation between the sun's position in December and June. Taking this shot near sunset on June 21, the faces of the Three Sisters are getting the most northerly sun possible.
The Blue Mountains are a mountainous region and a mountain range located in New South Wales, Australia. The region borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting about 50 kilometres west of centre of the state capital, close to the major suburb of Penrith. The public's understanding of the extent of the Blue Mountains is varied, as it forms only part of an extensive mountainous area associated with the Great Dividing Range. Officially the Blue Mountains region is bounded by the Nepean and Hawkesbury rivers in the east, the Coxs River and Lake Burragorang to the west and south, and the Wolgan and Colo rivers to the north. Geologically, it is situated in the central parts of the Sydney Basin. For about two-thirds of its length it is traversed by the Great Western Highway and the Main Western railway line. Several established towns are situated on its heights, including Katoomba, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, and Springwood.
The Three Sisters are an unusual rock formation in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, on the north escarpment of the Jamison Valley. They are close to the town of Katoomba and are one of the Blue Mountains' best known sites, towering above the Jamison Valley. Their names are Meehni (922 m), Wimlah (918 m), and Gunnedoo (906 m). The Sisters were formed by land erosion. The sandstone of the Blue Mountains was eroded over time by wind, rain and rivers, causing the cliffs surrounding the Jamison Valley to be slowly broken up. 11290
The three sisters beach was the place in NZ I had more fun shooting, Amazing rock formations, challenging weather conditions, waves, rocks, sand patterns, reflections... and the best part ... no one around. In places where there are so much to explore other photographers and tourists around always make me bored (sorry lol )
Weather conditions over the last four months were on track to challenge my vision of this Superstition Mountains' landmark. But by some force of nature and luck, my persistence paid off and I was rewarded with an evening of amazing light and atmosphere to set me free.
Another look across the Three Sisters at dawn, this time with significant cloud cover and lots of foggy/cloud running up the valley.
The Three Sisters is the most iconic of all goblin formations within Utah’s Goblin Valley State Park. The park consists of thousands of hoodoos and hoodoo rocks, referred to locally as "goblins", which are smooth rounded and mushroom-shaped sandstone formations of rock pinnacles. The park is located 50 miles southwest of Green River off State Highway 24. Print Size 13x19 inches.
Happy Smile on Saturday.

A reprocessed shot taken many months ago down at the Quays one morning with Andy, I never was quite happy with the original and knew at some point I would give it the once over again.
Flying out of PDX (Portland, OR) before dawn, I could see three mountains at once: Mt Rainier, Mt Adams, and Mt Hood. The people looking out the south windows could see the Three Sisters.
A canvas type spring time look of the Sisters, known individually as "Faith", "Charity and "Hope". The trio comprises the background of the image, Faith situated at the far left, Charity next in line and Hope which is partly obscured by cloud cover.
Albert Rogers named the peaks in 1883. History has it that Rogers stated, "There had been quite a heavy snowstorm in the night, and when we got up in the morning and looked out of the tent I noticed each of the three peaks had a heavy veil of snow on the north side and I said to the boys, 'Look at the Three Nuns.'
I'm not sure what the boys back then thought but I would be running for the hills (or in this case mountains) if I woke up and saw three Nuns.
The name, "Three Nuns" stuck for a few years. The name, "Three Sisters" first appeared on a map of Dr. George Dawson's in 1886 who probably thought the name was more appropriate - ah, it be the times.
