In the years of climbing in the Washington Cascades, my number one favorite climb was Eldorado, in July 1973. Hard to recall the camera, I was renting various SLR's to decide what to buy (finally chose to buy the Oly OM-1). Film was definitly Kodachrome.

Washington’s Spirit Lake near Mount St. Helens. This was taken nearly four decades after St Helens erupted. A large portion of Spirit Lake’s surface remains covered with a giant mat of tree trunks as a result of the massive blast.

Wow El Dorado is iconic! And so beautiful on Kodachrome. Always wanted to do that but everyone I hiked with in WA drew the line when it came to ropes and ice axes.

I don't have a ton of nature on film in the NW, but here are some cars interacting with nature...

Snoqualmie Pass, Richland, and Lake City on Mamiya 6 and large format, respectively:

I had stayed up all night and went out into the dawn down in the West Mooring Basin. I caught these two ships in the morning light. Yes, the tide was out. M9 + Amotal.

Here we have the Pacific tied up with a load of shrimp and no ice for them. You bet he wants to offload that catch ASAP. Bornstein's is in the background where the shrimp will be sold and the boat paid. You see the crew member phoning home. maybe saying he will be late for dinner.
