Looking out over Campbell Lake and some islands. On hike to top of Mt. Erie, Anacortes WA.

Nice pastel colors.

This is another of those occasions where the initial image seemed a bit on the 'flat' side but the Lightbox view has a lot more 'pop' and looks good.

Mount Erie is the very first hike that we ever went on in Washington. Back then people used it as a launch spot for hang gliding. Are they still doing that?

They are, and it's really cool. Also a big with climbers. I remember being up on top with the pups one day, and saw a guy with ropes coming up, and he looked back and there came his 7 year old boy attached behind him!! It was awesome

Thank you Geoff. I think while I am still learning photography, my editing skills also need practice right along side. Part of what I fear is taking editing/pop factor too far. I'm not a big fan of a Thomas Kinkaid look.

Just need to keep practicing, and looking at the work here on CIC.
