Foggy Winter Day in the Kittitas Valley

While hanging out at my cousin’s property in the lower Kittitas Valley near Ellensburg last weekend, we watched the fog roll in down the valley. In order to get this angle, my camera was mounted on a tripod and positioned very close to the ground.

Camera specs: Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200mm lens at 200mm, F2.8, 1/3000 second, ISO 200.

Just outside the Northwest corner of Mt Rainier National Park is a mountain lake called Coplay Lake. From the bridge that crosses the Carbon River, a forest service road leads to the lake. During typical days in late December, the lake is not accessible by four wheeled vehicles, however, this year, the snow pack in this area is a little late coming and I was still able to drive my Land Cruiser to the lake (doubtful on the day I am writing this because of a winter storm in the mountains).
