Foggy Morning on Route 123 in the Cascades

We woke up one morning camped out near Mt. Rainier in Washington and headed south on route 123 en route to Mt. St. Helens. One of my favorite things about the PNW and Northern California is the fog. I love the moody feeling that it brings to landscape photos. I don’t know how many times I drive pass an amazing scene and kick myself for not pulling over to capture it. Often assuming the scene will remain and I will get another chance to capture it down the road, which never materializes. I did not do that however on this day, I actually pulled over and took the shot. It showcases the lushness of the region pretty well. If you look closely you can spot my dog Vinny in the bottom of the photo!
