Shasta in Late Autumn

It was a cold, hazy morning... I was driving south down from Oregon... The layers of silhouettes poking through the low-laying strata of smoke and haze.was simply breathtaking. These images really don't fit well into a camera. The aspect ratio is too wide and the range of shadow to highlight is too deep to fully capture. But, that doesn't seem to stop me from making the attempt. I think part of it might be that when one finds oneself at these moments of vast beauty-of-experience, one wishes to share it in some way with someone. Then again, maybe it is nothing more than fussing around with a camera gives me something to do as I spend time there taking it in.
