Two hours of stars over Mount Rainier, compressed into one minute. 🌌 I photographed this from the White River area as the Milky Way moved across Little Tahoma Peak toward Mount Rainier. Airplanes, satellites, and even a searchlight crossed the frame.

Reflection Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington After spending the night photographing the stars at Mount Rainier, I got up early for sunrise at Reflection Lakes. The water was nearly still, with a thin layer of mist drifting across the lake. The first sunlight was beginning to reach the trees and foreground grasses. It was a quiet and peaceful way to finish the photoshoot. #MountRainier #ReflectionLakes #MountRainierNationalPark #PacificNorthwest #LandscapePhotography #MountainPhotography #WashingtonState

I arrived at Tipsoo Lake early Saturday morning hoping to see alpenglow on Mount Rainier. After waiting a little while, the light began to appear on the summit. It was a little faint at first, then those beautiful golden-red tones started to show, with pink reflected in the water. I really enjoy seeing this every time I go. Watching that light change across the mountain, especially with the reflection in the lake, makes the early start and the drive well worth it. It truly is a peaceful way to start the morning. 🏔️📷 #CarlProthmanPhotography #MountainReflection #Alpenglow #TipsooLake #LandscapePhotography

Morning light on Mount Rainier While photographing Mount Rainier last week, I noticed the first morning light beginning to reach the upper mountain above the dark forest below. I liked the contrast between the bright snow and rock on Rainier and the layers of trees beneath it. The forest really helps show just how massive the mountain is from this viewpoint. One of those scenes that made me stop and take a closer look. 📷 #MountRainier #MountRainierNationalPark #PNWPhotography #LandscapePhotography #PacificNorthwest #WashingtonState #MountainPhotography

“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” — John Muir I thought of that while hiking toward Sheep Lake last Saturday. With the fall color lining the trail, this was one of those stretches where I was happy to slow down and enjoy the walk. 🍂📷 There are few places I’d rather be than on a mountain trail with a camera. #PNWPhotography #LandscapePhotography #FallColors #WashingtonState #HikingPhotography

I went to the Quinault Rainforest in the Olympic National Park this past weekend. And hiked the Maple Glade Trail. It is the kind of trail where every few steps reveal another quiet forest detail. The ferns and moss-covered trees were amazing. It felt like walking through a magical landscape.

I drove over to Palouse Falls in eastern Washington yesterday, about a 4-hour trip. It was my first time visiting the falls, and it really is an amazing state park. There is a fence on the canyon rim near the main viewing area, but you can also walk along parts of the canyon rim where there are only warning signs. When I walked over there, I made sure to stay about 10 feet back from the edge to get my shots. It is a beautiful place, but not worth taking risks. I loved seeing the waterfall drop into the deep canyon, with mist rising from the pool below. The green along the basalt walls really stood out against all that rugged rock. It felt very powerful, dramatic, and well worth the drive. #PNWPhotography #PalouseFallsStatePark #EasternWashington #SonyAlpha

This was the pre-sunrise glow at Mount Rainier, Washington, on July 4, 2026. Just before the sun came up, the entire sky lit up in brilliant shades of red, orange, and pink. One of those mornings that made the early alarm completely worth it. ✨ #pnw

Sunrise alpenglow on Mount Rainier reflected in Tipsoo Lake I arrived early yesterday morning, hoping for a clear view of Mount Rainier while the lake was still calm. I was not disappointed. Seeing the alpenglow on Mount Rainier reflected in the lake was absolutely beautiful. I felt peaceful, excited, and incredibly lucky to witness it. What catches your eye first, Rainier or the reflection? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

Sunset glow over Puget Sound I drove out to Alki Beach in Seattle yesterday hoping to catch the sunset. Clouds and fog hid most of it, but this Washington State ferry crossed just as golden rain lit up beneath the storm clouds. Would you rather ride the ferry on a moody day like this or under clear, sunny skies? #pnw

Mount Rainier under a sky full of stars I was hoping for a clear night, but a few clouds drifted through and made everything feel even more immense. Stars above, Rainier below… the whole night felt vast and peaceful in a way that’s hard to put into words. Have you ever had a night where the clouds actually improved the scene? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

Morning alpenglow on Mount Rainier. The first light touched the upper mountain in soft pink and orange while the forest below was still sitting in shadow. I always love that short window when the snowfields begin to glow before the rest of the day catches up. Scenes like this are exactly why I keep getting up early for Sunrise. Have you ever caught Rainier in this kind of morning light?

Wildflowers at Chinook Pass, Mount Rainier National Park I loved seeing this hillside covered in blue lupines, pink blooms, yellow flowers, and small white blossoms. The mix of color across the green meadow made the entire slope feel alive with summer. #WildflowerWednesday #PNWPhotography

A Steller’s jay stopped at the backyard birdbath for a drink.

And decided to strike a pose, complete with the perfect side-eye look.

Was he thirsty… or critiquing my shot? What’s your verdict? 😏

One thing about the Pacific Northwest mountains.

You can stand in the same place a hundred times.
And the mountain will never look the same twice.

Light and weather rewrite the scene every day.

While I was at Federation Forest State Park this week, this mossy stretch of forest caught my eye.

The moss-covered branches and deep green forest floor gave it a calm, almost storybook feel.

Mount Index at sunset.

What caught my eye was the sunlight hitting the snow on the upper ridge. On a clear evening, it makes the whole mountain really stand out. View full screen to see the texture and detail of the ridge.

While I was at Lake Wilderness this past week, this shoreline reflection caught my eye.

The evergreen trees along the shore looked almost doubled in the water. It had that quiet Pacific Northwest feel I always enjoy.

What’s your go-to mirror shot? Post it below. 👇

A quiet trail leading down to Shadow Lake. I was hiking the Wonderland Trail when I came across this view of the deep green water, surrounding evergreens, and a lone hiker near the shoreline. The whole scene felt calm and tucked away from the busier parts of Mount Rainier. What’s your favorite trail to hike? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography
