“Mount Washington (2)”
Description:
This monochrome winter photograph captures Mount Washington in Oregon’s Central Cascade Range, viewed from the Mount Washington Viewpoint along Highway 20. The volcanic peak rises above snow-covered terrain and the 2003 B&B Complex Fire burn scar. Mount Washington is a shield volcano that last erupted about 250,000 years ago during the late Pleistocene.
Story:
Like many who drive this stretch of Highway 20, the Mount Washington viewpoint is a perfect rest stop to stretch and take in the impressive sight of this spire-like and deeply chiseled stratovolcano. (This mountain reminds me of the Matterhorn.)
In the winter, when snow blankets the Cascades, Mount Washington’s modest height of only 7,700ft appears to me as being twice that amount because its white capped frame dominates the surrounding wilderness.
Arriving at the viewpoint on a clear morning while driving back to Newberg from Bend, I witnessed sunrise — the summit of Mount Washington glowed hot pink and fiery orange. (The photographs of that moment were nice but not enough for me to pack my camera and continue my drive.) As I watched the light sweep across the land, the photograph you see started to take shape.
With the sun’s light a harsh white, I converted this digital photograph into black and white in order to emphasize the power and majesty of this Matterhorn like mountain.
