mountains

Shot on Fuji Velvia or Provia back in the 80s.

We thought we were going to get wet for sure on our climb to high camp on the east side of Mt. Rainier, but we made it dry, then the clouds miraculously moved through.

When the evening fog catches the last light of the sunset, it creates an ethereal feeling. I hope that this photo taken somewhere on top of the mountain captures just that.

Looking into the heart of the North Cascades from Green Mt.

Fantastic granite climbing, and powder heli-skiing in the winter, on these peaks in the Selkirks of BC.

My shadow at the top of one of my favorite backcountry ski runs near Stevens Pass, WA. This was a perfect crisp day with no wind and good snow. A couple runs down pristine slopes like this makes a backcountry day so much more aesthetically enjoyable than fighting for powder at a ski area. Hoping...

Snow came in last week and took away the color from the mountains. I was lucky to have been able to take a few shots before winter stopped in for a bit. I ended up submitting these to a calendar contest in my town.

Shot this week up The Mountain Loop Highway in Washington's central Cascades, near my house. I finally went out and found some copyright free music so I can freely publish this.

One of the sunrise's when I was up in the Grand Tetons in Wyoming with the FocalWorld gang. This particular sunrise I decided to take advantage of the angle I had seen Alan shooting at the day before, and it actually worked out well since the colors were to the south of the peak and only for a...

The Mountain Loop Highway is my local gateway to the Cascades. I can be up hiking on Mt. Pilchuck in 45 min., or further up like yesterday in a little over an hour of beautiful stress free driving. Fall color is as good as it gets around here. Perry Creek trail didn't disappoint, although I...

My mother was staying with us this weekend so I took the drone straight up above my house to show her how it works. Morning-above-house-9.29.18-(32)-Pano by Jim Dockery posted Sep 30, 2018 at 5:27 PM DJI Mavic 2 Pro

A busy and usually full of life mountain forest can easily become a temple of silence. When a fog suddenly engulfs trees allowing only a tiny pass-through for the light, the forest enters into a state of numbness. This sudden touch of silence that swallows up all noises brings a great...

I hiked up my little local peak Monday with a heavy pack filled with photo gear to spend the night. I lucked out having the lookout to myself (other than a noisy mouse). My star time lapse failed when my A7rII, which I'd left out on a tripod ready for an 11 PM start time, gave an error when I...
