  • Mount Hood 3,426m (11,239ft) viewed from Portland, Oregon.  The left skyline is the Northwest Ridge (named Cathedral Ridge); the right skyline is the Southeast Ridge.  The bulge in the Southeast Ridge is called the Steel Cliff.  Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of Northern Oregon. Sunrise provides backlighting glow to radiation fog (Valley Fog) filling the valleys on this cool autumn morning. Radiation fog results from radiation cooling of the ground and adjacent air under clear night skies and elevated relative humidity, most common in autumn. Normally, this fog dissipates within a few hours of sunrise as the sun warms the ground.

  • Life in Huaráz, below the distant Huandoy summits and the west face of Huascarán Norte (North) 6,664m.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.

  • Symbols of faith, Huaráz.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.  Nikon D200, 17-50/2.8.
