Last Light On Mt. Hood

[steveeshom]

I visited the Columbia River the other night in hopes of catching the moon rise around Mt. Hood. As is fairly typical this time of year the clouds moved in late in the day precluding me from seeing the moon until almost 45 minutes after the official rise. Of course the clouds provided another pleasing effect....

I always love the alpenglow on the mountain. Very pretty.

Steve, was this Sunday night? That is BEAUTIFUL!!! You scored. =)

George and I were driving home in the afternoon. I looked over at Mt Hood and told him that I bet someone gets a great shot tonight. He asked if I wanted to go down to where you were probably standing (the jetty with the walking trail that goes out off the shore) later that evening. I told him no. I should have said yes.

Sunday night was indeed gorgeous in Oregon.

I was heading back north, and didn't have time to stop, but the sunset was incredible. Here's a lousy snapshot from the freeway on ramp.

Yep, it was Sunday night. It would have been nice to see you and George show up down there.

Bob, that looks like what I was seeing after it was too late to make the dash for the river.

Maybe we will all show up another time. I keep watching but Sunday night we had spent the day with the dogs at the river in Ridgefield and I was tired.

We will keep watching and will on occasions get there...Especially if I sense lenticulars forming. In case if YOU see them first, feel free to shoot George a call or text.
