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.

This was a quick 47 min aerial photography flight around Mount Baker just before sunset. It was unusually calm, so we were able to fly completely around the alpenglowing massif, about level with the 10,781 ft summit. We then looped around a few more times, gaining elevation (up to 14,800+ ft) until we had a unique bird’s eye view straight down onto the summit. It was cold up there: -10°F!
The flight path is shown to the right. The red markers designate photo locations. Click to enlarge. (This flight line is made with actual GPS data.) |
