Aerial Photo Calendar

Every Christmas I make a calendar for my friends and family. This year the theme of the calendar is "Aerial North Cascades," containing 13 carefully selected high-quality aerial images of Washington's rugged and beautiful glaciated North Cascades. Each month is represented by an aerial photo taken during that month. Here is a sampling of my aerial photography.

The calendars are large format and professionally printed by Apple. Contact me at sabegg@gmail.com if you are interested in acquiring a calendar(s). I order the calendars from Apple on an individual basis and get them directly shipped to your address. The calendar can be ordered at any time, and can be even be customized to span any range of months (for example, June 2013-June 2014).

Photos by month:
JAN: Early Winters / Liberty Bell
FEB: South Hozomeen
MAR: Hidden Lake Lookout
APR: Glacier Peak
MAY: Shuksan
JUN: Baker
JUL: Bonanza
AUG: Baker
SEP: Dome Peak
OCT: Wildfires '12
NOV: Mt. Stuart
DEC: Southern Pickets
(JAN): Rainier
+++: Mystery peak on cover

As a challenge, if you can name the summit on the cover photo below I will offer you (for the same price) a special 13-month calendar containing Mt. Rainier on the extra month.

PHOTOSET 23
"Aerial Photography of Mt. Olympus and Company"
Olympus, Athena, Tom, Valhallas, Meany, Carrie, Lone Tree
DECEMBER 30, 2012

This was my first aerial adventure over the Olympic Mountains with John Scurlock. During this December afternoon flight John and I photographed the mighty Mt. Olympus, as well as the nearby Valhallas, Mt. Meany, Mt. Carrie, and The Tree at Lone Tree Pass. The Olympics were a winter wonderland after a recent onslaught of snowy storms. The entire flight from Concrete to the Olympics and back to Concrete was 2h10min and 325 miles long. The aerial photography portion of the flight shown in the map below lasted about an hour. 

The flight path is shown to the right. (This flight line is made with actual GPS data.)
