In September 2007, after the first snow fall of Autumn, I captured these images in the Sunrise area of Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington.

On the day of this visit, Mount Rainier was enshrouded with clouds (not uncommon). As I waited patiently, hoping for a break in the weather, suddenly the clouds cleared between where I was standing and the river below. Having my camera and tripod in place, I had approximately two minutes to capture the photographs you see here before the clouds rolled back in.
