The 4th of July fireworks I was at longbeach in Washington on the 4th of July right in time for the fireworks. By sunset, the entire beach lit up by fireworks as far as one can see. #4thofjuly #4thofjuly2020 #throwback #washingtonstate #longexposurephotography #longexposure #longbeachwa #pacificcoast #us101 #pacificnorthwest #pnwphotographer #pnwcollective #explorewashington #washingtondaily #fireworks #sunsetphotography #beachlife #beach #cascadiaexplored #upperleftusa #wonderfulwestcoast (at Long Beach, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGWM3LalzP2/?igshid=1vp8eyi2tlt4s

The hike to Tolmie Peak . This hike started off a little boring without much of a view and turned gorgeous around Eunice Lake. I dont have many pictures of the Eunice lake as it was getting dark and I had to hurry up to Tolmie peak to be in time for sunset. . But I have promised myself that I will hike this trail again just to spend sunrise at Eunice Lake. . #cascadiaexplored #washingtonexplored #roadtrip #naturelovers #pnw #pnwescapes #wonderfulwestcoast #pnwonderland #westcoastlife #explorewashington #washingtonexplored #longexposurephotography #beautifuldestinations #seattlephotography #mtrainiernationalpark #rainierwatch #mtrainer #hikersofinstagram #hikers #hikerslife #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #sonyphotography #sunsetphotography #indianinusa (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFV_kgXFlgy/?igshid=1mdmgjbckeyf3

Hiking the evening hours for this view of Mt Rainier. . This hike plan started as a sunrise hike, but oversleeping lead to it turning into a evening hike instead. But no complains as one cannot stay disappointed at this beauty. . That said, I will be doing a surise hike the next chance I get to this place, and hopefully I will get to see a cloud inversion too... . #mtrainiernationalpark #mtrainier #mtrainierwatch #mountrainier #rainierwatch #nationalparkspartnership #hikersofinstagram #staywild #wilderness #nature #naturephotography #landscapephotography #landscapelove #cascadiaexplored #washingtonstate #explorewashington #washingtondaily #pnwphotographer #pnwadventures #pnw #sunsetphotography #sunset #pnwonderland (at Mount Rainier National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTbDkAFbX5/?igshid=1cjnw7j0e26c3

More early morning shots.. this time at Washington Pass. . Originally I wanted to reach here in time for sunrise, but some miscalculation and unexpected views at Diablo Lake delayed me a bit.. It was summer, but it was still cold at Washington Pass. This view is something I do not get tired of .

Bison picking its nose at Yellowstone National Park . Bisons can be found everywhere in Yellowstone National Park, including roads. The sight of a lone bison staring right back through the lens was intimidating, even though I was shooting with a super telephoto and still far away from it. We saw a lot more bisons during our road trip, but this particular one was one of the first we saw as we entered the park through the west entrance . #wilderness #wildlife #yellowstonenationalpark #bison #buffalo #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #sonyphotography #supertelephoto #nationalpark #nationalparkphotography #nationalparklife #beautifuldestinations #nature #naturephotography #yellowstone (at Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFN7SLPl0Xk/?igshid=1j3yg9y5nklqc

Mirror like water and peace as if the world has gone still... that is what North Cascade Mountains promise to anyone who can make it there by sun rise. The place has a beauty that one cannot just drive by without stopping... . Well if you are late for the early morning view, the turquoise water of Diablo Lake is sure to keep you entertained as well... . #northcascades #pnwonderland #pnwlife #seattlephotographer #seattlelife #westcoastlife #upperleftusa #wonderfulwestcoast #pnwescapes #northcascadesnationalpark #beautifuldestinations #roadtrip #naturelovers #nature #mountains #sunrise #reflection #reflectionphotography #diablolake (at North Cascades National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFLXyG1lG2x/?igshid=18byk0i67tzuc

Moon rise over Montana. . Probably one of the first photos taken with the Sony FE 200-600 f/5.6 - 6.3 OSS and also my first time handling such a heavy lens. Rented this lens for the Yellowstone trip, and a had a lot of fun shooting with it, even though its a little unwieldy. . #sonyalpha #sonya7riii #sonyphotography #moonrise #moon #mooncloseup #telephoto #supertelephoto #montana #montanamoment #montanaphotographer (at Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFIyxhwFi1c/?igshid=pao0y1qwpj21

Early morning on the way to Palouse falls. Straight roads cutting through farm lands and the early morning haze lingered in the distance. #bluehour #sunrisephotography #sunrise #cascadiaexplored #explorewashington #photographersofinstagram #originalphoto #pnwonderland #pnwlife #blueskies #roadtrip #road #beautifulwashington #beautifuldestinations #washingtonstate #easternwashington #palouse #farmlands #beautifuldestinations (at Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEp8_PylYWY/?igshid=hl7n1woeg0gr

Throwback to the road trip to Palouse falls back in May. A stop somewhere on the way back from Palouse falls. It was still early in the morning, but the sun was out in full strength and warm while it was still cold all around. It offered a chance to drive with the sunroof open. A very rare privilege for someone from Seattle area

Sunrise at Steptoe Butte. Had to wake up at 4 in the morning to get this shot. I'll be talking about this more in the next blog post. Finally after a long delay, the next post is ready and scheduled to be published. I will be talking about the three days I spent driving around Washington State and the places I covered during that trip. Expect 100+ photos and a bit of a read when it is out 😁 #wanderlust #wanderer #pnwphotographer #pnw #pnwescapes #cascadiaexplored #explorewashington #visitwashington #pnwonderland #pnwlife #pnwonderland #steptoebutte #palouse #colfax #sunrise #sunrisephotography #washingtonexplored #green (at Palouse, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmVvrPFlg6/?igshid=volsc7wq2ykb

An evening well spent at West Point Lighthouse at Discovery Park near Seattle. The evening was a mix of rain and sun which made the hike to the Beach a little bit annoying, but this lead to the final moments before the sun set very dramatic with colorful skies againt the lighthouse
