Pictures from around town

I've finally had a chance to post a few of the images I've taken around Seattle this summer; you can have a look at the album here if you'd like. This is the same set of pictures from which I selected the new feature for the blog banner.

Having taken some spectacular hiking trips in the area during these past few months, I also have a series of photos from those expeditions that I plan to post as time permits. But I'm not quite done yet; this weekend, I'm heading up to Mount Baker in Washington's North Cascades for a wilderness retreat. Located roughly two hours north of Seattle, this area holds the global record for greatest snowfall in one season and is supposedly one of the most photographed regions in the world. It should be a nice place to spend the weekend. More to come when I return.
