About The place you see here is among my favorite spots on Earth. At least twenty times, over four or five trips, over three years I have sat here and watched the sun rise on Mount Rainier. The river below leads from the Emmons glacier away from the massive peak. A few late wildflowers still blooming compliment the foreground. One night after full, the moon was setting in the East above the mountain as the first light struck the peak.
I had known for some time now that this spot was very special. With the right atmosphere and conditions the shot could be spectauclar. Rarely have I seen a better natural compostion of features in a landscape.

One this magic morning, everything finally came together. Alpenglow illuminated the East face and clouds streaking over the peak for all of five minutes before disappearing. It was one of the most astonishing and brief displays of light I've ever seen. I made many images, most using two grad filters to control a difficult exposure. The darkness of the image is accurate to the light levels at the time of capture. The moon was just a lucky compliment to an already striking landscape.

I've never understood what numeric ratings have to do with photography, or art in general, but I appreciate the compliment. The place is simple to find once arriving at the Sunrise lodge, in Rainier National Park. Simply follow the 'silver forest trail' to it's end and continue down the ridgeline about 1/2 mile.

No question that this is a seven. I wonder where you were sitting - do you have topo or GPS for this site?

Marc,
This shot is... I think the word awesome (a very overused word) applies here. It almost looks like a painting from a fantasy story. Your patient waiting has at last been rewarded. What a spectacular shot.

Wow!!! I absolutely love this shot! It is definately one of my favorites! The colors and lighting are simply amazing! This must have been incredibly breath-taking to see in person! I wish I could have been there to see this for real, but you did a great job capturing this and bringing it to us! Thanks so much, it looks awesome! :)

Hi Marc,

You definitely captured a magic moment... I found Mt. Rainier one of the most beautiful places on earth, and it made a lasting impression on me.

I can only envy you for seeing twenty sunrises over the Mountain, even if the other 19 weren't as spectacular at this.

Not mutch useful things to add in discussing the photo, it's absolutely a spectacular shot, and very well post processed. Outstanding photo.

Cheers,

Hugo

This is a breathtaking image leaving me humble when nature shows itself with so much raw beauty. I can understand why this is your favorite spot. I also know that being there using all senses can never be replaced with a photograph, but nevertheless you come close with this one!:-)I love everything about the photo.
If you´ve never been to Greenland, The Faroe Islands or Iceland you might consider going there. Nature is wonderful there also leaving one small and appreciative of life and the beauty of nature.
Best wishes,
Annemette
